Well they cheated on tests. Had other people write them. Misrepresented their athletic achievements. So they deceived and defrauded the school to which they were applying. And they are not all private it seems. UT was on the list, a state school.
No doubt private schools will look favorably upon children of large donors, but I’m sure these parents saw this as a sure thing shortcut. Really glad this got sniffed out.
