Tag: college admissions scam

A view of the entrance to the USC Admission Center in the Ronald Tutor Campus Center at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, Calif., on March 12, 2019. Federal prosecutors say their investigation dubbed Operation Varsity Blues blows the lid off an audacious college admissions fraud scheme aimed at getting the children of the rich and powerful into elite universities. According to prosecutors, wealthy parents paid a firm to help their children cheat on college entrance exams and falsify athletic records of students to enable them to secure admission to schools such as UCLA, USC, Stanford, Yale and Georgetown. Two USC athletic department employees ? a high-ranking administrator and a legendary head coach ? were fired Tuesday after being indicted in federal court in Massachusetts for their alleged roles in a racketeering conspiracy that helped students get into elite colleges and universities by falsely designating them as recruited athletes.
