Twenty four out of the twenty six or so parents indicted are actually executives, professionals, or owners of their successful businesses, Lisa. So what are you saying? There goes the neighborhood? That buying preferential treatment is only for wealthy conservatives?
This ignores so many things. Do those football players at the elite school attend real classes? How much of the money at the school goes to athletics (coaches, stadium) instead of academics? The schools are making tons of money off of these athletes with apparel deals and if they are hurt and can’t play, they’re dropped off the team and bounced out of the school and their medical bills aren’t covered.
Doubt this was Lisa’s point, but this cartoon does remind me of the lack of female sports opportunities at colleges and high schools.
Nothing happened with the scandal with these schools using grad students to teach classes instead of actual professors. Tuition costs have risen far faster than inflation. Payoffs to the school to get legacy students enrolled may be legal, but it really isn’t ethical.
Kushner was admitted to Harvard University after his father, Charles, pledged a $2.5 million donation to the school. Trump was a transfer student from Fordham, his father got him into Wharton, not academics.
So, in Trump Disciple math, that PROVES it was them durn libruls who were responsible for all of it.
Naturally, they would get featured in the cartoon.
.
Note, that this the same math that proves that The Wall will stop businesses from hiring illegals, immigrants from overstaying their visas, and all illegal drugs from entering the United States.
The problem is more then just Admissions. Some years ago, the University of Florida cut an entire Computer Sciences Program, siting “Budget Constraints”, claiming that it would save the University $1.7 Million a year. AT THE SAME TIME, the University RAISED the Budget of the Athletics Department $2 Million a year!! Anyone else see the issue here???

Two out of 26 are Hollywooders.

And no collusion.

Seems as though it takes money to do anything, not just get into a good school, any more.

So no conservatives were caught up in this scandal? All Hollywood elites? Is that the take you really want to go with?
