His dad admitted bribing his way into Georgetown. Now he's suing the college to keep it from expelling him
California businessman Stephen Semprevivo departs federal court May 7 in Boston after pleading guilty to charges that he bribed the Georgetown tennis coach to get his son admitted to the school.
“If they get to do this, he will lose his credits for three years at Georgetown,” Kenner said, noting he had paid $200,000 for three years of classes. The attorney said the lawsuit will be amended to prevent any action by the university and to note his client’s lack of due process. Georgetown declined to comment on the pending litigation but a spokeswoman said Wednesday that two students were informed of the university’s intent “to rescind their admission and dismiss them from Georgetown.”
“Applicants to Georgetown affirm that the information and statements contained in their applications are true, correct and complete. Knowingly misrepresenting or falsifying credentials in an application can be cause for rescinding the admission of the student and dismissal from Georgetown,” Dubyak said. “Today, we informed two students of our intent to rescind their admission and dismiss them from Georgetown.
The lawsuit alleges that Georgetown took money from the student for tuition even after beginning its investigation into tennis coach Gordon Ernst in 2017. Ernst was placed on leave by the university in December 2017, four months before Semprevivo’s father was arrested on bribery charges.Georgetown’s attorney, Adam Adler, said he and university officials “will be gathering information relating to this matter, including from Mr. Semprevivo.
