Worst is that they took a spot at a university that could have been given to a student that wanted to learn. Gee, I feel like I'm on another planet to people in this thread. Am I super-naïve or something? What about - worst is, it makes a total farce of the entire university system? Does no-one care about that?? If you can just pay to get someone to write your work, how is that better than a non-existing diploma mill? Isn't the whole idea, to educate people? If they've just paid for a bit of paper, and that's ok, why do we need universities at all?
