‘Operation Varsity Blues’ Spurs a Class-Action Lawsuit Against Universities and a Second $500 Bill Lawsuit Against the Defendants
The money in this bribery scandal is minuscule compared to government payments to colleges and universities to promote government lines of propaganda. For example, Yale University received approximately $480 million in federal funds in 2015. But the media is silent on this outrageous use of taxpayer money.
A
group of students and parents have filed a federal lawsuit seeking
class-action status against the University of Southern California, UCLA
and other colleges named in this week’s sprawling admissions scandal,
saying their admissions process was “warped and rigged by fraud.”Prosecutors revealed Tuesday that 50 people, including 33 parents and a number of college coaches, face charges in carrying out a scheme in which wealthy people used their money to game the admissions system at some of the nation’s elite universities.
