But they still let Roy Kim get his degree 🤔

Let’s get this straight. Cheat to get into college and you get thrown out and someone’s going to jail. Cheat to get into the country and get free education

The children lose because the parents cheat. Doesn't seem right. See that's what happens when your parents tell you that you are pretty and smart. When you are not.

Keep turning over the rocks, there's bound to be more rich that don't play by the rules. I know the university system if full of greedy administrators and professor's. How else can it be explained tuition cost jumping 220% in 20yrs. for public colleges.

Since they've paid, give that slot to someone

Oh my god! CNN reported something without twisting into realDonaldTrump fault! I think is trying 2 quietly let its 3 years of reporting lies & conspiracy theories about realDonaldTrump be forgotten about! Nobody going to forget ! Zuckers criminal enterprise worldwide!

Paul Manafort went to GTowm

Well, I'd hope so..

If an american citizen has the I.Q.and practical knowledge to have a college degree, It is suggested the University Honor this Patriot with the appropriate degree.

Keep turning over the rocks, there's bound to be more rich that don't play by the rules. I know the university system if full of greedy administrators and professor's. How else can it be explained tuition cost jumping 800% in 20yrs.

Georgetown University to Expel Two Students Tied to Admissions ScandalGeorgetown University said it would expel two students implicated in the college-admissions scandal—hours after one of the students sued the school for allegedly depriving him of due process. Kids got balls. Given that Adam Semprevivo's admission to Georgetown was obtained through his Dad's bribery to the tune of $400,000 (as evidenced by his Dad's guilty plea), why should Adam be afforded any right of process? He never should have been admitted as a student in the first place. As they should admission granted under false pretenses

Georgetown moves to expel two students in aftermath of admission scandal“Knowingly misrepresenting or falsifying credentials in an application can be cause for rescinding the admission of the student and dismissal from Georgetown,' the university said in a statement. But schools taking bribe money...is okay? Good 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.
