The ousted student, who was not identified, is the second person from the Ivy League college caught up in the coast-to-coast scandal in which federal prosecutors allege dozens of wealthy parents lied and paid massive bribes to get their children into elite schools.
Rudolph "Rudy" Meredith, the former head women's soccer coach at Yale, was arrested in the federal probe dubbed "Varsity Blues" and charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and honest services wire fraud. Prosecutors said Meredith, 51, was paid a $400,000 bribe by William "Rick" Singer, identified by authorities as the ringleader of the scam, to accept a student even though the applicant did not play soccer.
The Yale student's parents had allegedly paid Singer $1.2 million to get their daughter into the prestigious Connecticut school, prosecutors said.
Comment: "Editorial independence" our butts! The Guardian has become little more than a propaganda rag that's increasingly been pushing the global veganism agenda. This article clearly illustrates why that is - it's all about the money, folks! This is reminiscent of the recent Keto Crotch hubbub - this isn't news, it's paid copy designed to sway readers in a direction deemed beneficial for those footing the bill. From one perspective, it's advertising. From another, it's paid propaganda. But however you look at it, it ain't news.
