发帖数: 2555 | 1 Two college students have filed a lawsuit against the University of Southern
California, Yale University and other colleges where prosecutors say
parents paid bribes to ensure their children's admission.
The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in federal court in San Francisco and
alleges the students were denied a fair opportunity for admission. The class
action complaint was brought on behalf of "All individuals who, between
2012 and 2018, applied to UCLA, USC, USD, Stanford University, UT-Texas at
Austin, Wake Forest University, Georgetown University, or Yale University,
paid an admission application fee to one or more of these universities, with
respect to an admission application that was rejected by the university."
"Each of the universities took the students' admission application fees
while failing to take adequate steps to ensure that their admissions process
was fair and free of fraud, bribery, cheating and dishonesty," the lawsuit
reads.
The two students behind the suit, Erica Olsen and Kalea Woods, say they were
denied a fair opportunity to get into Yale and USC. Both are now enrolled
at Stanford University.
They claim the alleged bribery scheme allowed "unqualified students" to be
admitted to "highly selective universities" at the expense of others who
didn't get in. They also claim the scandal has decreased the value of
students' degrees from the elite colleges. |
