Bloody hell on that link about the university paying poor students to clean toilets and the separate entrances for students with discounted tickets. I went to one of the most famous universities in my home country, and while there was all sorts of snobbery, if they'd tried that there would have been riots.

Yes, but not acting as personal servants to richer students!

All last week, watching the shenanigans unfold, I'd been wavering between wanting popcorn and Pepto-Bismol. There must be more involved than these 50 people, and not just in the US.

When the news broke, I did a Google search on "college admission consultants," and got an entire screen of sponsored ads from such service providers and bout 25 million hits. For every one who gets caught, 25 million spring up in his place. . .

I think what adds insult to injury is how it's not just a gateway for the privileged, but also where the most money tends to get invested for institutions.

It might be my experience at Rutgers that colors it, but my god, it was like everything deserved a second seat to the almighty greatness that is sportsball: especially football.
