FBI unveils large-scale college admissions bribery scandal - high-profile arrests made

The school I am familiar with does not operate anymore. I know they had a lot of other legal troubles years later after I had been familiar with them.

I do know that their recruiters were paid on a per student basis. I was not aware that that was illegal at the time.

My memory may be wrong, but I thought the students got a disbursement right as school was starting which allowed them to purchase supplies. Their remaining money was disbursed once or twice more per semester. Perhaps that has changed? I don't know.


how far back was this? it may have even been before performance based pay was illegal

there was a lot of shady crap going on in the 80s and 90s which led to a lot of retribution from the feds in the 2000s. the last decade has seen the feds making more of a distinction between schools that have honest errors and ones that are really screwing people. annual audits have become far more strict and the DoE is holding auditors and accrediting bodies far more accountable for their jobs in overseeing schools
