This week it became known via a federal indictment that rich people used their wealth to break the law in a variety of appalling ways, all with a mind to skip the line and receive guaranteed admission to famous/elite/highly-selective colleges. Nobody knows more about this world than Chronicle of Higher Education reporter Eric Hoover…let’s unpack #AuntBeckyGate emergency-style!

So much more to read here:

“Bribery Scandal Reveals ‘Weak Spots’ in the Admissions System. Don’t Look so Shocked.” (Hoover, Chronicle)

“Admissions Officers Didn’t Create the Scandal. But They Helped Shape the Culture That Spawned it.” (Hoover, Chronicle)

“They’re Already Rich. Why Were These Parents so Fixated on Elite Colleges?” (Becky Supiano, Chronicle)

“Born on Third, Stealing Home, Paying off the Ump: The Unhinged Greed of College Cheats” (James Murphy, Vanity Fair)
