FBI accuses wealthy parents, including celebrities, in college-entrance bribery scheme
Authorities said the defendants used “bribery and other forms of fraud” to facilitate their children’s admission to schools such as Georgetown, Yale and Stanford.
Hasnain says:
I'm glad these people were caught.
The article points out that the people in this case were prosecuted because "the wealthy" should not have a backdoor that bypasses the admissions system as it's unfair.
At the same time though there is this quote: "US Attorney re the Huffman/Loughlin (among others) college scam: "We're not talking about donating a building...we're talking about fraud.""
This baffles me as it seems to morally be the same issue just at a different (10-100x lower) price point?
