United States: Class-action lawsuit filed against 8 colleges in admissions bribery scandal

A class-action civil lawsuit has been filed by two California College students against eight top universities in connection with the massive college Admissions Bribery Scandal that has already led to federal criminal charges earlier this week against TV stars Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin, as well as against top business and legal executives.

The suit filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California by Stanford University students Erica Olsen and Kalea Woods accuses each of the universities of being “negligent in failing to maintain adequate protocols and security measures in places to guarantee the sanctity of the college Admissions process.”

And the suit, which claims more than $5 million in damages, says that as a result of the scheme “unqualified students found their way into the admissions rolls of highly selective universities, while those students who played by the rules and did not have college-bribing parents were denied admission.”
