USC says it won't let students currently at the school who may be connected to the nation's college admissions bribery scandal to register for class.
The University of Southern California says it won't allow students currently at the school who may be associated with the nation's largest-ever college admissions bribery scandal to register for classes as the school conducts a"case-by-case review" of their involvement.
USC noted it has already determined which applicants in the current admissions cycle, who were seeking entry for the fall 2019 semester, are connected to the alleged scheme. They will be denied admission, the university said.
USC's move comes as other universities implicated in the bribery scheme have also targeted current students linked to the cheating. Following a nearly one-year FBI investigation, prosecutors have alleged that wealthy parents of underachieving students paid enormous sums to either cheat on the ACT or SAT exam or to have college athletics coaches pretend that an applicant was a prized recruit in their particular sport. The latter was described as a"side door" to get them into some of the nation's elite schools.
