耶鲁大学、斯坦福大学、南加州大学......这些自带光环的名校是有钱就能进的么？！富豪告诉你：是的 ┑(￣Д ￣)┍

多少钱能“撬”开名校大门

CNN报道称，有父母豪掷百万为孩子“砸”开大学校门。

有父母为将孩子送近大学校园花费高达650万美元（约合人民币4370万元）。
Parents paid up to $6.5 million to get their kids into college.

还有这种操作？说好的寒窗苦读呢？

天真了吧！一些美国名校，只要价钱合适，考试作弊也有专业公司包办！

位于加州的一家备考公司老板是本案的核心人物。他表示，客户支付1.5万至7.5万美元（约合人民币10万至50.4万元）就可以在标准化考试中作弊。
The owner of a California-based test prep business at the center of the alleged plot said clients could also pay $15,000 to $75,000 to cheat on a standardized test .

据彭博社报道，近8年来，美国高校的相关人员受贿总额上亿。

政府表示，从2011年到2018年，客户共向教练和考试管理人员行贿2500万美元（约合人民币1.6亿元）。贿赂有时会被包装成慈善捐款。
In all, the government said clients paid $25 million in bribes to coaches and test administrators from 2011 to 2018. In some cases, the bribes would be disguised as charitable contributions.

没错，就是贿赂！美国近期曝光了高校最大招生丑闻。

事情的经过是这样的……

联邦政府近日成功破获了这起美国历史上最大的招生舞弊案。“高校腐败”“富二代”“教育不公平”引舆论哗然，各大媒体争相报道。

CNN：联邦检察官称高校入学作弊丑闻牵涉面甚广，富有的父母、女演员、教练均卷入其中

卫报：美国大学招生诈骗工具包：贿赂、虚假简介和装“傻”

今日美国报：“原来他在鼓捣这件事”：骗局设计师里克·辛格(Rick Singer)向大学招生兜售“侧门”

据CNN报道，这是有史以来最大的大学招生骗局。

美国联邦政府起诉书称，富有的父母、好莱坞女演员、教练和大学预科管理人员被控在全国范围内实施欺诈、把学生塞进名牌大学。此案被称为司法部起诉过的最大规模入学舞弊案。In what is being called the largest college admissions scam ever prosecuted, wealthy parents, Hollywood actresses, coaches and college prep executives have been accused of carrying out a nationwide fraud to get students into prestigious universities, according to a federal indictment.

卫报报道了五花八门的舞弊手段，包括SAT等大学考试作弊：

一份刑事起诉书称，SAT和ACT大学考试的管理人员收受贿赂，给学生雇“枪手”替考。一些监考人员则会在考试时把答案泄露给学生，或者在试后帮其改正错误答案。Administrators of the SAT and ACT college exams were bribed to allow someone else to pretend to be the student and take the exam in their place, according to a criminal complaint. In other cases, the proctors gave the students answers or fixed their wrong answers after they had taken the test.

骗取特殊考试机会：

起诉书称，学生有时会假装有学习障碍，以便在被买通的机构参加考试。The children sometimes faked learning disabilities so that they would be able to take the tests at facilities where staff had been paid off, the complaint says.

伪造体育特长：

骗局的另一个部分是，大学教练涉嫌收受贿赂，将申请人指定为被招募的运动员——令其在录取中获得优势——无视申请人的体育能力，有时他们甚至完全不参与该项运动。In another part of the scheme, college coaches allegedly received bribes to designate applicants as recruited athletes – which gives them a leg-up in admissions – regardless of their athletic ability, and sometimes when they didn’t even play the sport they were supposedly recruited for.

名人 · 名校

这些名人中不乏我们熟悉的面孔，看美剧的小伙伴一定不陌生。

此案中有50人受到指控，包括因出演电视剧《绝望主妇》（Desperate Housewives）和剧情片《泛美航空》（Transamerica）闻名的费利西蒂·霍夫曼(Felicity Huffman)，以及出演情景喜剧《欢乐满屋》（Full House）的洛里·洛林(Lori Loughlin)。
There are 50 people charged in the case, including actors Felicity Huffman, known for her role on the TV show Desperate Housewives and the feature film Transamerica, and Lori Loughlin, a cast member on the TV series Full House.

起诉书称，霍夫曼花了1.5万美元伪造大女儿的SAT成绩。

起诉书指出，洛林和丈夫莫西莫·吉沃利同意支付总计50万美元的贿款，让两个女儿成为南加州大学赛艇队的新成员——尽管事实上她们并不是桨手。Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giani, agreed to a pay bribes totaling $500,000 in exchange for having their two daughters designated as recruits to the USC crew team – despite the fact that they were not rowers, the complaint says.

彭博社披露的名单显示，不只是娱乐明星，各行各业的富豪都有涉及。

在50名被告中，有金融界、慈善界和法律界的知名人士，包括纽约威尔基·法尔加拉格尔律师事务所（Willkie Farr & Gallagher law firm）联合主席戈登·卡普兰（Gordon Caplan）；上市金融公司Hercules Capital首席执行官曼努埃尔·亨利克斯（Manuel Henriquez）；太平洋投资管理公司（Pacific Investment Management Co.）前首席执行长道格拉斯·霍奇（Douglas Hodge）。卡普兰和亨瑞克斯周二早间被捕。三人均拒绝置评。Among the four dozen charged are top names in finance, philanthropy and law, including Gordon Caplan, the co-chairman of the Willkie Farr & Gallagher law firm in New York; Manuel Henriquez, chief executive officer of Hercules Capital; and Douglas Hodge, the former CEO of Pacific Investment Management Co. Caplan and Henriquez were arrested early Tuesday. All three declined to comment.

检察官称，多名教练中饱私囊，包括耶鲁大学（Yale University）前女足教练、南加州大学（University of Southern California）高级体育副主任、威克森林大学（Wake Forest University）女排教练和斯坦福大学（Stanford University）帆船教练。Prosecutors said several coaches pocketed payoffs, including the former women’s soccer coach at Yale, the senior associate athletic director at the University of Southern California, the women’s volleyball coach at Wake Forest University and the sailing coach at Stanford.

检察官说，38人被拘留，33名家长被起诉。Thirty-eight people were taken into custody and 33 parents were charged, prosecutors said.

英国《卫报》报道称，多所名校牵涉其中。

这些学校包括耶鲁大学、斯坦福大学、乔治敦大学、南加州大学、加州大学洛杉矶分校和德克萨斯大学。The schools include Yale, Stanford, Georgetown, the University of Southern California, the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of Texas.

波及范围之广，涉案人数之多，近年罕见。

引爆舆论！

笃信公平的普通民众再也坐不住了，说好的考试最公平呢？？

波士顿联邦检察官安德鲁·莱林（Andrew Lelling）在新闻发布会上表示:

“本案体现出，人们在不断利用手中的财富和欺诈行为，让精英大学招生腐败现象不断扩大。”“这些父母代表着财富和特权。”
“The case is about the widening corruption of elite college admissions through the steady application of wealth combined with fraud.""The parents are a catalog of wealth and privilege.”

网民更是怒不可遏，炸了锅。一位思路清奇的网友表示：

如果大学收到数以百万计的贿赂，他们能给我们更多的奖学金吗?

更多网友则表达了愤怒与不满：

明天，那些试图通过贿赂让孩子入学的人会“甩锅”给亚裔美国学生，称自己“不得不”犯下这些罪行。“他们（亚裔美国学生）学习太用功了，逼得我们不得不撒谎、作弊！”

这些在大学入学考试中为自己娇生惯养、头脑迟钝的子女行贿舞弊的好莱坞明星看上去都是“进步人士”！他们喋喋不休地谈论社会正义，却过着“双标”的生活，凌驾于法律之上，凌驾于我们其他人之上。

他们将面临怎样的结局

一朝事发，无论是涉案公司，还是家长、学生、学校，都难逃惩治，CNN报道发问：这些靠欺诈贿赂入学的学生们会怎样？美国检察官莱林表示，难辞其咎。

父母和其他被告是“这起欺诈案的主要推动者”。学生们将来可能会面临指控。The parents and other defendants were "the prime movers of this fraud," he said. He said students may face charges down the road.

彭博社报道了高校的处境，

两周后，常春藤盟校和其他顶尖大学将公布2023届入学名单。可现在发生了招生史上规模最大的丑闻，肯定会引发人们对顶尖大学录取尖子生过程的质疑，同时也凸显了富有家长赢得入学名额的极端个案。
The charges come two weeks before Ivy League schools and other top universities are scheduled to announce admissions for the class of 2023. The scandal, perhaps the largest ever in admissions, is certain to raise questions about the process by which top colleges fill highly competitive freshmen classes, while highlighting the extremes to which some wealthy parents will go to win a seat.
