Stealing the spot of a student that is not a moron. Could apply it also to stealing the ACT score too I guess. I think these charges are pretty weak compared to what they could charge them with. Maybe they will up the charges when they have full access to bank records, emails etc. Everyone should be getting money laundering charges, many should be getting tax evasion and tax fraud charges too. Thanks. Seems a bit of an oxymoron. Like jumbo shrimp đ. In a nut shell, honest services mail and wire fraud refers to a scheme to corrupt someone (through bribery of some sort) using mail or wire communications. Honest services is a legal term that encompasses intangible property (such as an admissions slot). A bribe to a public official that results in one action or outcome instead of another deprives someone else of the "honest services" of that public official, or in other words, a bribe results in the theft of the expected honest service of the public official. Terms like honest services usually come into use when court decisions or legal arguments challenge the language, intent or meaning of a law.

By the way, in Mick Halely's $2M lawsuit against USC, there was this statement from his attorney Christopher Ludmer: Not related to the college admissions scandal, but....interesting connection. "Ludmer accused the school of attempting to limit the teamâs roster" Based on what we have heard, this part might be related to the admissions scandal if the team had a limited number of preferred walk-ons and he was being pressured to give one up.

I bet Michael Jacksonâs family is glad to be out of the headlines for a while. But Michael could have endowed a building and gone to college if he wanted to. Instead he built Neverland and a zoo.

You'd think colleges would be lining up to admit anyone who is willing to pay FULL PRICE to get in. I thought that was what the FULL PRICE was for. Not really. First set the amount of money you intend to raise from tuition. Then, starting with people on 100% financial aid, subtract the amount the student actually pays from the total amount. Raise the price to reflect the amount left / the number of students left. Continue this process until you reach a point where the students no longer receive any financial aid. At that point you have found the artificial "full price". Example: You want to raise $100 from 10 students. Two students can pay zero. That means you need to raise 100 from 8 students. One student can pay four. So now it's 96 from 7 students. One student can pay seven. So now it's 89 from 6 students. One student can pay nine. So now it's 80 from 5 students. One student can pay eleven. (Note, this is more than the original average of 10 would have been, so this is the student that starts subsidizing the others.) Now it's 69 from 4 students. One student can pay fourteen. Now it's 55 from 3 students. One student can pay fifteen. Now it's 40 from two students. The remaining two can both pay twenty, so "full price" is set at $20. Note that the school never planned on receiving $200 ($20 * 10 students). But in order to cover the financial aid, they needed to set the "full price" at $20 in order to get the intended $100. You only actually need the super-rich but unqualified kids if you run out of qualified kids who can pay $20.

You know what my biggest complaint is about the college admissions process? The stuff you submitted with your application isn't returned back to you. In one of my applications, I submitted a book of poems which were illustrated with various photos. For example, on a poem titled "Escape," I cropped my head from a family photo and glued it on the page. I then drew with color markers iron jail bars over and around my cropped head. I never got that book of poems back from the Admissions Office. It was my only copy! Those bastards!
(This is bizarre because the application is for an engineering school. I know, right? Why would I send a book of poems in an application to an engineering school? LOL! Anyway, long story.)

Wondering if Lori Loughlinâs daughter is still at USC? She posted one photo on Instagram the day she moved into her dorm (sponsored by Amazon). Nothing about school after that. But lots of pouty, boobs almost falling out, sex kitten pictures.

Lori Loughlin's kid must have had just terrible grades for her two rich and famous parents to feel like they had to bribe her way into USC.  She also has a very viable youtube channel with major sponsors.  You would think schools would want that kind of entrepreneurship? But, then you have to also wonder why a very small elite private school would actually go to the effort of calling USC admin to ask WTF on her admission.  She must not be a stellar person/student/addition to a community. Watched a couple of her videos and she comes across as entitled and obtuse. Since she was only going to USC for game day and the parties, when she gets kicked out, she still will be able to attend what she values about SC. Mom no doubt has people to do her work for her too. My daughter who recently graduated knew of several girls on her team who had a parent doing their work. Another who got extra time and unproctored exams (bs honor code) who cheated her way through. She struggled with turning them in, didnât in the end and it still bothers her. These frauds will do the same

Dang! The most exciting thing I ever did on Spring Break was teach myself how to program in Pascal. For me, "exciting Spring Break activities" fall into two categories: 1) before girlfriend and 2) after girlfriend. The most exciting "before girlfriend" spring break was when my Dad went to an engineering conference in Boston the same week I had Spring Break, so I got to show Dad around town. The most exciting "after girlfriend" spring break activities were things I am not going to discuss here. However, at no time did I spend spring break on a yacht that was owned by the MIT board of directors. In fact, I doubt the MIT board of directors owns a yacht, but I suppose it is possible.
