Love it. I am not by nature a litigous person, but these suits are entirely appropriate. I hope these colleges face a mountain of these filings.

this is so good - making some popcorn and watching...

The video Para posted made an interesting point. Schools had stopped using entry exams because minorities couldn't pass them and they wanted diversity.

SO the answer is dumb down the entire system instead of working with minorities to make them meet the standard?

Good God, what a dim bulb

Public universities still require taking the exam, as compliance audits are pretty aggressive on this (pubic info), where the publics and privates differ in fulfilling their 'diversity strategy' is that area of, 'extracurricular activities'.
As we've seen with the Harvard case where Asian plaintiffs are claiming unfair admissions to minorities at the expense of Asians. Baytron's extra-curiculors of volunteering at the Boys/Girls Club, interning at the social justice non-profit, and organizing a beach clean-up, have more weight than Michael Kim's extra's of winning the district science fair, volunteering at the local senior center and a internship at a known architectural agency.

I'd say her parents got a bargain if it only cost them $500k to bribe that shallow dolt into college.

But since the goal of today’s colleges is to make shallow dolts of bright kids, she doesn’t even need to go to college!
Look what BU did for AOC!

BTW isn’t it priceless that the Loughlin kid was on the yacht of the chairman of the board of USC when she got the news? And she’s oh so chummy with that guy’s daughter?

The system is rigged!

The Red Guard would have sent her off to work at a potato farm. Wearing one of those coarse grey unisex Mao outfits with the little cap and digging with a wooden paddle.

God it would have I mean like destroyed her nails!

Which makes me think that maybe the Red Guard had some things right regarding spoiled, corrupt capitalists.

I think the first lawsuit was brought by a couple Stanford students who are claiming their degrees are diminished due to future employers will wonder if they gained their way into the college by legitimate means or if they got in by the bribery system. Students who didn't get accepted can sue, students who did get accepted but feel their degrees will be diminished can sue and I would suppose graduates will be on the wagon because future employment or promotions will be in jeopardy.

I hope every money grubbin' lawyer descends on these colleges and buries them in their own shit. We will see who's at the bottom of the hill when it stops rolling.

That was painful, almost didn't get thru it, complete BS.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I doubt that lawsuit is going anywhere. The fact that these folks brought a lawsuit does diminish what I think of them, and if people remember their names will hurt their employment possibities.

Where's a live volcano when you need one, huh?

So, Basically, the people pontificating about how the system is rigged against the little guy are doing the rigging.

I hate to admit this, but Singer's Trinity University senior yearbook photo is almost right below mine. The good looking guy at the top of the page (three above Singer) with half his head cut off is yours truly. I never met the guy and I am most certainly not a 'known associate'. Geebus, and I almost went to UT on a scholarship that I actually earned.

Anyway, here's the yearbook scan.

And now the sponsor firings begin....

Sephora cuts ties with Olivia Jade Link

Sephora- I don't know what it is but I'm all for it

These parents are the kind that shake their heads as they contemplate the sad reality of "white privilege" over martinis at the club, champion "diversity" and "inclusion", and attack Trump for his racist wall.

I hope the law suits multiply like the numbers of under-paid landscapers and nannies they are hiring these days. I'm hearing of class actions that will have even the guardians of multi-billion dollar endowments like Harvard's and Yale's sweating bullets.

This is just starting to unravel. There is more to come.
