The US Department of Education is investigating universities tied to the massive college admissions scandal that unveiled a system of bribing school officials and falsifying student test scores to gain acceptance to competitive schools across the country.
To secure their child's entry into the elite school of their choice, wealthy parents paid Rick Singer, a 58-year-old life coach from Newport Beach, thousands and thousands of dollars to boost SAT and ACT scores and fabricate their achievements, like photoshopping a prospective student's head onto an athlete's body to snag a spot on a sport's team.
“The allegations made and evidence cited by the Department of Justice raise questions about whether your institution is fully meeting its obligations” an Education Department official wrote in the letter, according to Politico. Several schools have fired head coaches and employees for taking bribes to falsely endorse high schoolers' athletic abilities, as well as rescinded these students' admissions.
Question 1: Were bears involved in the college scandal? Yes or no. No? Then it’s ok.
People working for the department of education will now have to find their kids and grandkids new schools...right Bets!
