A colleague just forwarded this story to me. What the WHAT?
A colleague just forwarded this story to me. What the Federal prosecutors on Tuesday charged nearly 50 people, including Hollywood actresses and coaches at top universities around the country, for paying for or accepting bribes to admit student applicants.
At a news conference in Boston on Tuesday, U.S. Attorney Andrew E. Lelling, called the case the largest college admissions scandal ever prosecuted by the Justice Department.
Both coaches and private admissions counselors received millions of dollars for helping to get students admitted as athletes to Yale, Stanford and University of Southern California, regardless of their academic or sports ability, officials said.
Along with Hollywood stars Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, those charged included prominent business leaders, a fashion designer and a top lawyer, officials said.
This is a developing story, so I can't wait to see what else happens...
