Lowering the tuition for other students by $6.5M sounds like a win to me

  Yeah, because that is how these things are priced. Oh no, wait a minute, they aren't. They will actually be priced using perceived-value-added, so someone paying 6.5 million might push that up a bit.

    I do not know about Stanford in particular, but elite schools have some of the best financial aid programs in the US. If against odds a kid from a blue collar family gets into an Ivy, they might very well pay zero tuition (which was the case for a number of acquaintances of mine). However, this money was not paid to the school to buy a spot. It was paid to a white collar criminal who falsified data in order to make it look like the kid "deserved" to get in Stanford.

  The money didn't go to Stanford. It went to the guy running the scam.

  The whole problem is that the money didn’t go to Stanford. That’s where the “theft” occurred.
