The Yale University has expelled a student whose parents paid more than a million dollars in bribes to get her in, the first such move since a huge admissions scandal erupted earlier this month. Some 50 people have been indicted so far in a scam to help children of the American elite gain entry into top US colleges. They include sports coaches, university administrators, and 33 parents accused of paying bribes According to the university, women’s soccer coach Rudy Meredith, who left Yale, provided fraudulent athletic recommendations to “two applicants only.” One of the two was accepted into Yale in January 2018, after her relatives paid $1.2 million in bribes according to the charge sheet against Meredith.
The coach also received $400,000 from a go-between who organised the deal. “Yale investigated and the admission of the student who received a fraudulent endorsement has been rescinded,” the varsity said. AFP
