    People intuitively understand that the elite-feeding factories known as "selective universities" operate with an admissions process that is corrupt to the core. But having it laid out in such graphic detail is deeply satisfying. And for once, the people busted are all rich morons

        All of our institutions are deeply corrupt--corporations, financial system, political parties & government, churches, sports. Why wouldn't college admissions also be?

        Don't forget that the corrupt admissions processes at all the Big 10 schools deliver the starting line-ups for the football and basketball teams.

        None of them will pay for it, except for the schmucks who did things for the rich bastards, but the logs are hilarious. At least their reputation will be fucked.

        Considering govt and Wall St. are a "who's who" of top 20 universities, they will challenge any information to the contrary, that the admissions process isn't corrupt.. ergo zero traction on overwhelming evidence of discrimination against Asians in the admissions process.

        The students need to be charged as well, they were adults or on the verge of adulthood, teenagers who had to be complicit in these schemes for them to work. The press needs to stop referring to them as children and the FBI needs to explain why they were not charged as accomplices

        Every institution private or public is corrupt to some degree. I'd say the majority of students in the ivies deserve to be there, more true at some than others. But even if as many as 1 in 5 don't, is that "core" corruption?

        In fairness, Michael, I don't think it's 100% corrupt process, but there are deep fissures of favoritism that are blatantly anti-meritocratic. Exposing abject admissions fraud is an important win in the battle broader integrity. In this case (surprisingly?), FBI is on point.

        Trump has demonstrated he lacks the knowledge obtained by a basic high school education (or that of a 5th grader)...and yet he was accepted and graduated from the Wharton School, @Wharton; I don't smell a rat...I smell something far worse!
