FBI: Wealthy Parents Bribing Colleges To Accept Their Kids

I mentioned this issue in another thread somewhat recently during a convo about tuition costs/access to education/students buying degrees/cheating in post-secondary education. From what I've heard through the university grape vine over the years, this practice is actually RAMPANT in private universities in the USA (particularly in Ivy League schools), and goes way beyond this FBI accusation, on one level or another. The rich buying degrees and/or school work and getting richer as the poor get poorer. When will Americans demand justice and fairness in their higher education system? As someone who works in higher education, I'd really like to see Americans take notice and then take action, and demand better for their youth. It impacts every university and college in the world, really. FWIW, I have PERSONALLY caught a coach at a very famous American institution helping a student cheat on his exams. It was incredibly awkward, and ultimately nothing happened to him just because of politics.

Well, that was a fun little read.
90% of the Harvard class graduates "with honours"? There's something really wrong with that.
