I’ve never really understood the Admissions fraud thing.

If the college is a private entity, then who gives a flip that someone paid more to have their child attend. It’s their money and they can spend it how they wish, and if the college gets to make more money from someone with stupid kids then what business is it of ours?

I agree with the rest of the article. Most courses of study in today’s universities are useless. but robbing from those who are too stupid to realize that is not a crime. Again, the students spend their money how they wish. NOTE however that there should be no government student aid.

Poor students take up valuable instructors’ time, ruon the institution’s reputation, and drg down the rest. A lot of universities are willing to suffer this to get the money from debt-ridden graduates for years and years, using the money to build their power structure, influence, and brand identity.

It is NOT a private entity. It is a bought and paid for Government subsidy that HAS to follow Government rules.

I used the GI Bill (plus savings) to get a doctorate and later to reduce the down-payment on a house. I considered it compensation for low pay as an draftee.

The government grants and loans are the economic base of the scam. Without that, college applications would collapse and colleges would have to shape up in order to survive.

That is a crazy reply.
