admissions scandal

The admissions scandal, often referred to as "Operation Varsity Blues," involved wealthy parents paying large sums to secure spots for their children at prestigious universities in the United States. Key figures, including college coaches and a college admissions consultant, collaborated in falsifying test scores, bribing officials, and creating fabricated athletic profiles. The scandal, which came to light in 2019, highlighted issues of privilege and inequality in college admissions, leading to legal consequences for many involved and prompting a national discussion about fairness in the education system.
