More than a dozen parents, including CEOs, investment executives, real estate developers and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, are slated to appear in Boston federal court on charges related to the nationwide college admissions cheating scheme dubbed Operation Varsity Blues.
The most familiar names among the accused parents are actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin, but they're not scheduled to appear in court until next week. She is accused of paying at least $100,000 to help her two daughters cheat on their college admissions exam and get into the University of Southern California as beach volleyball recruits.
And 53-year-old Austine Huneeus, whose family owns vineyards in California's Napa Valley and in Oregon, is accused of paying at least $50,000 to have SAT administrators correct his daughter's college entrance exam and to have USC officials designate her as a water polo recruit to improve her chances of getting into the college.
Bet they all wish they lived in Chicago. $10,000 fine and 16 hours of community service. “Next!”
People have been paying donations to colleges and universities for decades. Why is this a problem all of a sudden ?
