No, but if they don’t flunk out the colleges should be investigated for grade inflation and just in general whether they still deserve their accreditation.
I thought it has been like that for a long time? Parents intentionally donate to school in exchange for guranteed admissions. Is that considered illegal in the US?
Nope
Some colleges may openly have seats for kids of big donors. But this case is about seats reserved for meritorious students, who cant pay large donations. The merit can be SAT, sports, other achievements. The rich people stole these seats by cheating. So they actually stole from some deserving non-rich kids, which makes it so bad
Only if they knew about their parents' scheme.
Voted yes after noting that there is no way the kids could not have known. They signed the applications, they knew they didnt take the SATs that day, etc. Some of them even boasted about it, and some have withdrawn before they get expelled.
The FBI said that most of the kids didn't know about it. I'm pretty sure they've done more due diligence than you.
Don’t mess with Aunt Becky!
If by expelling the students the school is able to take on more qualified students the following year, then yes.
Even if not, then also should do it, to make an example
Of course.
The embarrassment they will carry for the rest of their collegiate careers / lives seems adequate. I’d be surprised if the ones still in school return for the following semester.
Kick them back to community college , and have them reapply as a transfer student
No and dont care. This is to say everyone at facebook should be fired after the scandals.
do it.
