The news this week on the college admissions scandal involving wealthy people and Hollywood celebrities, bribes, and fake test scores -- all done to get adolescents into the premier colleges and universities in our nation -- should not be a shock to any of us, the UPI website reports today (March 14, 2019).
Colleges have become a big business and they are all about one thing: making money. They are motivated to maximize revenue and too many traffic in degrees that fail to prepare people for the workforce.
This is more proof that colleges care less and less about getting the best candidates and providing a best-in-class education. This falls behind the need to generate maximum revenues and this results in behaviors that create vacuums like this to occur.
It is time we hold colleges accountable. They should do a better job ensuring that if they have a real admissions system... it should not be influenced by bribes. Otherwise, cut government funding and let them become an online university and just let everybody in.
