Agreed. Allowing these kids to retain admission or a degree, if graduated, would severely undermine the credibility of the admission systems at those universities for legitimately-admitted students.
If anything, after the current uproar dies down, it would encourage more of the same. It would send the message that even after this problem becomes national and international news with dozens of criminal charges to the perpetrators, those schools will still do nothing if you get caught.
- sgc 8y agoI think it should be more metered. Those currently enrolled lose their enrollment status and must reapply. Those who have graduated should be subject to further investigation, and if they did the work and passed their classes, they should keep their degree. It was enrollment fraud, not academic fraud.
- rixrax 8y agoThose who graduated got in with false premise and took away opportunity from someone else. They got the education, that must be worth something. But the degree, it belongs to someone else, and it should go. In no way has this been a victimless fraud.
- zebraflask 8y agoMaybe put a prominent mark on the transcript that the enrollment was fraudulent? Similar to how withdrawn sports and music industry records are noted on the books. And there would need to be a public list that employers could check to verify whether or not a degree from one of these schools was fraudulently obtained. These people should not get a free pass or be able to claim that their degrees were not tainted by fraud.
- sgc 8y agoIf they knew about it, I agree. Some obviously did, others perhaps not.
