In response to Jeff2sf

I definitely agree that the former Cornell student's situation was lying on a different level. I was just highlighting it to show that schools can reach back and remove degrees if they find out about falsification of applications.

I also agree that the large dollar donation to a school seems like a bribe. The main differences are that the donation is above board and the product(s) of the donation can be utilized by other students in the form of things like a building, an endowed teaching position or scholarships.

I completely understand your point and ultimately feel we are close in our views on this specific case, just on different sides of the midline.

Maybe the findings of the investigation will provide more clarity.
