Someone described the process as, “Wealthy kids, going through school for the paper to be in their parents companies.” The media’s coverage of forged grades for entry into elite schools may seem distant, but parts of the scandal remind me of PSU, which has similar issues on a surface level.

Now I get how non resident students can afford PSU full-time. Working at an apartment building, leasing to almost exclusively students has taught me a lot. Unfortunately, the recent scandal doesn’t necessarily surprise me. It is imperative that I keep a strict schedule during the school year to keep up with both classes and my financial wellbeing.

I work multiple jobs at once, including my own business ventures. School is absurdly expensive for someone like me. The recent scandal has a lot of people rethinking the validity of our education system and although there are only 11 accused universities, you can see the signs on every college campus, including Portland State’s.

People like the Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman or Full House s Lori Loughlin, whom are accused of bribing university officials from Stanford and the University of Southern California respectively. The college admissions scandal-“Operation Varsity Blues” if you have a flair for the dramatic-was a conspiracy to influence who was admitted into the University system by bribing college officials to let wealthy children in and inflating said wealthy children’s test scores and grades. It turns out I was right, that it was mostly partying-but only for those who can afford it.Īs is the case most of the time in this country, the rich are yet again damaging people’s view of the education system. I was around nine years old when I asked myself why college was so important if it was just partying all day. The thing that I noticed with every film portrayal I’ve ever seen in movies like “American Pie” or anything that was fashionable in the 2000s. “I can’t believe it’s like this,” I thought to myself.
