At the end of the day, why would I care what the rich waste their money on? If they want to pay twice as much for half the education, eh its their dollar. I'm pretty sure college is a business, and asking businesses to leave paying customers on the table is the kind of anti-market thinking that leads to situations like this. If you incentivize "anti-social behavior" (this seemed like a reasonable middle ground word), what else does anyone expect to happen?

For every purchased admission there are two parties, the rich person spending their money and the academically qualified candidate that loses out on the admission. I don't care what the rich person spends their money on, but I do care about the student that worked hard, played by the rules, and deserved to be admitted but because of corruption was denied their spot. UC is not a business, it's a public institution. Every Californian tax-payer pays for this institution, the administrators are there to be stewards of the public funds for the public good. As a Californian tax-payer, I care about the mismanagement of the institution that my tax dollars fund.
