    Default College admissions scam rekindles scrutiny of Kushner's Harvard acceptance, $2.5M ple

    I bet this preppy bastards family bought Jared's admission to an Ivy League school?!!

    WASHINGTON – The college admissions bribery investigation that led to charges on Tuesday against 50 people, including CEOs and Hollywood celebrities, has placed a new focus on how President Donald Trump's son-in-law got into Harvard.

    Jared Kushner, who serves as a top aide to Trump, and his acceptance to the Ivy League school was investigated as part of the 2006 book "The Price of Admission" written by ProPublica editor Daniel Golden.

    Why are you such a conspiracy nut Kenny? All you do is post wacko theories about the right and completely ignore anything on the left.

    Maybe your mommy paid for your schooling because no one else would take you?

    It's really kind of interesting. I heard his daddy paid $2 million originally. Now I've read $5mil. Maybe it was a rounding error. The people who were MOST stunned about him getting into Harvard were his 'high school' classmates. I'm sure they knew something wasn't right.

    My book exposed a grubby secret of American higher education: that the rich buy their under-achieving children’s way into elite universities with massive, tax-deductible donations. It reported that New Jersey real estate developer Charles Kushner had pledged $2.5 million to Harvard University in 1998, not long before his son Jared was admitted to the prestigious Ivy League school. At the time, Harvard accepted about one of every nine applicants. (Nowadays, it only takes one out of twenty.)

    I also quoted administrators at Jared’s high school, who described him as a less than stellar student and expressed dismay at Harvard’s decision.

    That's about as severe a case of TDS as I have ever seen snowflake. You should see a professional about that and your serious case of stupid.

    "HEY Look over there at those affirmative action Blacks who don't deserve to be here"...……

    Ignore the rich whites who illegally pay for their kids to get into college.

    Wake up America!
