Plaintiffs allege that they were denied a fair opportunity for enrollment in educational institutions and that their degrees were devalued due to a fraud scheme for entering colleges, disclosed by federal 12 officials in March, writes Fox News.

Erika Olson and Kalea Woods filed a class action lawsuit in California's US District Court 13 in March, the day after the federal authorities announced that they had disclosed one of the largest fraudulent schemes in the history of the American educational system. According to lawyers, thousands of plaintiffs can join the lawsuit, at the moment they demand $ 5 million from the respondents

The University of San Diego, the University of Texas at Austin, Wake Forest, Georgetown, Stanford, Yale University, the University of Southern California, and William Singer, who is considered the head of the fraudulent scheme, are listed in the lawsuit as defendants.

Students claim that they did not provide a fair opportunity to enter elite colleges, where they applied, because some people were accepted to study at these institutions on the basis of fake sports characteristics and fake SAT and ACT results obtained through bribes.

“Each of the universities was negligent in failing to maintain proper protocols and security measures to ensure the integrity and transparency of the college admissions process and to ensure that their own employees were not involved in similar bribery schemes,” the complaint states.

The lawsuit added: "Unqualified students were included in the lists of enrolled in higher education, and those students who played by the rules and did not have parents who paid bribes were denied admission."

Olson said that if she knew that the system of admission to Yale University was “distorted and fraudulently fraudulent,” she would never spend money on applying to this university.

“She was never told that the admissions process was unfair and rigged, and that wealthy parents could buy a place at the university through bribery,” the lawsuit says.

As a result, both students entered Stanford, who, according to the investigation, also received students according to the Singer scheme.

In this regard, Olson and Woods stated that their degrees from Stanford are now devalued because “potential employers may now wonder whether she was accepted to the university on her own merit, and not because of parents who bribed university officials ".

13 March A former California teacher filed a civil lawsuit for 500 billions of dollars against 45 defendants involved in a fraudulent college scandal. Jennifer Kay Toy said rich parents, who believed that “it’s okay to lie, cheat, steal and bribe to put your children in a good college” deprived her son Joshua of the opportunity to go to college, despite his 4,2 GPA.

She did not specify which colleges her son didn’t enter or what he ultimately does, but said that those involved in the bribery scheme are depriving people of “the right to a fair chance of entering college.

Recall fromUS education system appeared in the center of a fraudulent and corruption scandal. The best universities accepted students from particularly well-to-do families after transferring money to the account of “intermediaries”. Some even designed as "promising athletes." Hollywood stars were involved in the scheme.
