Students suing Yale, USC, and Georgetown, and Stanford over the ongoing admissions scandal, but experts question if lawsuits will have any effect.
A lawsuit against universities prompted by the Department of Justice's announcement of indictments in an admissions bribery scandal is unlikely to provide recourse, a law professor told Newsweek.
High profile figures like Hollywood actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin were both charged by federal authorities. The government has declined to charge students, saying they were unaware of the actions being taken by their parents, according to The New York Times. "As these students don’t seem to be making a civil rights claim, I don’t see litigation as the route to preventing this from happening again," Stephen Sugarman, a law professor at the University of California, Berkeley, told Newsweek, noting that the indictments had not targeted university administrators.
