California lawmakers are attempting to crack down on the so-called side door that allowed wealthy parents to engineer their children's acceptance to elite universities.
scandal in which 50 people were criminally charged, California lawmakers are attempting to crack down on the so-called side door that allowed wealthy parents to engineer their children's acceptance to elite universities.
"Maybe their life circumstances have prevented them living up to their promise. The list is endless," the website says. Proposals from other lawmakers include asking the State Auditor to review the University of California's admissions process for risks of fraud,denying Cal Grants — the state's financial aid system — to schools that offer preferential decisions for donors and alumni and phasing out the use of standardized tests, given that the scheme also involved parents who allegedly conspired to help their unwitting children cheat on their college exams.
"It’s one of the only interfaces we have with the private institutions," Democratic Assemblymember Phil Ting, who proposed the legislation, said in an interview."We don’t have legal authority over them. So, it’s one of the few places where we interface and interact with the private universities."Others say the package, while a good step, doesn't go far enough.
