David Perry, CNN; College cheating scandal is the tip of the iceberg
"We're not talking about donating a building, we're talking about fraud," said Andrew Lelling, the US Attorney for Massachusetts, as he announced indictments in a massive scheme alleging that celebrities and other wealthy individuals used cheating, bribes, and lies to get their kids into elite colleges.
The behavior described in this alleged fraud should be punished. But on a
broader and more basic level, the case also sheds light on deep
inequities in our college admissions system. Because if someone can get
their kid into Harvard by buying a building, let alone by committing any
of the alleged acts emerging from this case, the scandal isn't just
what's illegal, but what's legal as well. "
