Not at all technically the same. This case involves paying off people to commit fraud. How hard is that to understand the difference.

  Receiving admissions in exchange for tax deductible donations is also fraud, and just as severe.

    I'm not familiar with tax deductible donation related law, but in that case, universities need to make sure they aren't breaking the law. Is that what's happening? As far as I can tell, saying "get really good test scores or pay us a million dollars to get in" is not illegal.

      No university says "get really good test scores or pay us a million dollars to get in". Universities get to keep their pretense of having objective admissions and that you can't buy your way in, and the donor gets admissions, personal advertising, and a tax deduction. There's a reason no university simple states a price on their admissions page
