Universities get substantial federal funding, including Pell and research grants. Such investments are put at risk if the universities fill themselves with unqualified applicants.
- musicale 8y agoHas any university ever lost federal funding because of admitting too many unqualified applicants? I doubt this is a major risk.
- danso 8y agoWhere is the claim that a university has ever been found to have admitted “too many unqualified applicants”?
- x0x0 8y agoAnd what makes the unqualified applications requiring building purchases for admission ok, and the unqualified applicants requiring cash payments to coaches not ok under your rubric?
- danso 8y agoShould be patently obvious that there’s a cap on how many people can donate the kind of money that funds a building — nevermind that such donations are public. There is no cap for a secretive system of bribery and arbitrage.
- randycupertino 8y agoBecause donating money directly to the school benefits other students who use the dorms, the building, the research facilities. Straight up bribing the coaches just enriches the coaches.
