It seems that in this particular scandal money is the key factor, and I agree with you that no one is above the law regardless of wealth, race or background. Unfortunately, as we have learned through listening to these podcasts, wealth has acquired enrollment for these individuals into these colleges. The thing that most frustrates me is the fact that these students are accepted based on wealth rather than ability, those getting accepted based on an athletic director’s recommendations (although the student has never played or has no talent for the sport). Hard work and determination creates not only good character but also a sense of pride and good ethics. In the real world (where most of us live) we won’t be able to buy off our employers, if we can’t do the work then we won’t be working very long. It is an injustice to the students who were unaware of their parent’s payoff, perhaps they will question their abilities, and for those of them who were aware of their parent’s payoff, perhaps they will go through life feeling entitled to whatever they want. If the money were to run out, would these students know how to work for their needs and wants? It is questionable, but for most of us we can take pride in knowing that we have earned our degrees, and I know that when I enter my career in law enforcement I will have the skills needed to do the best job I can.
