Georgetown moves to expel two students in aftermath of admission scandal

The campus of Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. By Nick Anderson Nick Anderson Reporter covering higher education, national education policy and the global education market Email Bio Follow May 15 at 1:50 PM Georgetown University said Wednesday it intends to expel two students after reviewing their applications in the wake of the admissions bribery scandal.

Thirty-three parents were charged in the case, along with 17 others who authorities say orchestrated or facilitated a two-part scam. One part involved cheating on admission tests; the other, fabricating high school athletic credentials to present applicants as recruited athletes even though they lacked the ability to compete at the intercollegiate level.

No students have been charged in the case. But Georgetown and other affected universities have been scouring their records to determine whether to revoke admissions of any students or take action against any graduates connected to Singer.

Wow! That’s going to leave a mark for Georgetown as other schools nationwide are also moving forward to expel dozens of students who were involved in OperationVarsityBlues finding out their college admissions were being fabricated or in that case orchestrated. ItDoesntAddUp

So kick out the students who paid to get in, but keep the illegals there getting school for free? Yeah, there's fair...

Unless the kids knew this seems wrong

The laughing staff in Greece...Really what is doing that pedo in Greece?

To be honest I don’t like seeing kids suffer for their parents actions. I’m sure most of the kids knew about it but in all reality 17 and 18 year olds are just kids imo. If they have kept their grades up then let them stay. Punish the parents and make an example of them.

Kick them to the curb! Do the parents get the bribes back? With interest?

But schools taking bribe money...is okay?

Good
