What should the jail time be???

[ColdNoMore]

Enough jail (gen pop, not 'country club') time and money, to make the next 'entitled' person...think more than twice about doing it.

If these beautiful people get jail time I'll be shocked. They'll get a fine and community service.

Should get fined and community service. I would be surprised if any of these people get actual jail time.

No jail time. Colleges should be easier to get into, and the tuition should be a lot less expensive. There is no need for students to go into debt to get an education. The system is corrupt.

They should be required to fund scholarships for bright underprivileged kids

Jail to those who accepted the bribes. Fines and suspended sentences for the those who payed the bribes.

Martha Stewart went to jail for what I consider a less offense. She adapted and overcome. Depends on the judge.

Easy to get-reduces the value.
Students to go into debt. In the real world there are many options. Military service comes to mind. I went to a community college for a two year degree. Cost was very reasonable. I then transferred to a four year school and got my 4 year degree there.

Bills?
I worked and saved all through high school. I had roughly 10,000 in savings FROM WORK. In today's dollars that is roughly 60,000. After getting my degree, I planed on relaxing a bit.
The cam e the bank note-congratulation on your graduation your first payment on YOUR LOAN is due ????????? I had my degree. I owed 13,000 in today's dollars roughly 80,000. I got married, my net worth was negative numbers. We lived cheap, I worked a second part time job and WE PAID OUR BILLS.
FAIR? In my world fair is you make your choices and YOU pay the price of the choices you made. I for one do not understand the current thought that you should benefit when things go well and someone else should pay for your mistakes.
Was college a mistake? I can't answer that. A path not taken is my best thought on that.

In plainspeak- a bribe is a bribe.

I agree with whoever said the people who TOOK the bribes should get jail time, AND forward every single cent of the money he collected, to the scholarship funds of the schools that benefitted from it.

The people who PAID the bribes should be required to pay the same amount to the scholarship funds of the schools they bribed their kids' way into. They should be required to pay whatever sum that was, every year, for ten consecutive years. They shouldn't go to jail, because that would give them an excuse to claim they can't afford it anymore (since they can't do their million-dollar-jobs from jail).

The kids who got the free ride should be re-evaluated by the corresponding schools, and determined whether or not they even qualify to get in the next year - and then their parents should be required to foot the bill at 100% tuition, no grants, loans, or scholarships.

No scandal, rich been doing ever since college was created. The real crime is the ones that took the bribe, we know Hollywood preps are clueless. they are supposed be held to high standard, just like politicians. O, it the same isn’t it.

[retiredguy123]

The people I would like to put in jail are the students who borrow taxpayer money, and then spend the rest of their lives doing everything they can to avoid paying it back.
