Here in California, I believe I have seen administrators cover up enrollment irregularity (direct fraud?), even before covid-19, in the Hayward Adult School -- English as a Second Language (ESL) program, in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The administrators are cool like lawyers, but now reading this, it all fits.
- frankfrankfrank 5y agoWouldn’t surprise me if the schools also get some central planning committee money and therefore are not incentivized and even negatively incentivized to do anything at all about it. They don’t care as long as they get theirs. It’s one of the many cancerous patterns that emerge from any kind of central planning/“communist” type system.
- mdavis6890 5y agoIt may have been active "cover up" - but doesn't need to be (or have been). It could be just passively ignoring and not being curious about fraud that benefits you. More (apparent) students benefits the school. Suppose I'm running a tech company and a bunch of "users" are actually non-engaged, fake accounts. If my valuation is based at least in part on how many users I have, there is not a lot of incentive to go actively looking for, eliminating or preventing these fake accounts. I may even continue to believe that they are all real, engaged users and not even consider the alternative.
