foxbat Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Class action file ... schools and the scam company are named as defendants. Interesting claim on the admissions fee component ... the reputation part may prove more problematic to prove. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/two-stanford-students-file-first-133412573.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the college board needs to go; keep in mind the reach of the CB includes AP courses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily disputing the results. I am in favor of competency testing, however, as many professions require competency tests for licensure.

Muda69 Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 The Hallmark Channel, typically spared from scandals, has cut ties with Lori Loughlin: https://news.avclub.com/the-hallmark-channel-typically-spared-from-scandals-h-1833306697#_ga=2.82810590.913238935.1552318544-2565330411.1523556988 Quote The Hallmark Channel is essentially the straitlaced, goody two-shoes cousin of the significantly saucier (and now overwhelmingly murder-focused) Lifetime channel, which has historically helped the network from ever having to weigh in on controversies. That was before our collective innocence was shattered by the FBI’s “Varsity Blues” operation, though, which revealed—in the most shocking discovery of all time—that rich people have been using their money to get things they don’t necessarily deserve. Those entitled motherfuckers! (Sorry, we’re still just in shock that rich people would do something so unseemly.) Anyway, one of the famous people named in the investigation was Lori Loughlin, who allegedly paid the University Of Southern California a series of bribes totaling $500,000 to guarantee admission to her two daughters. Loughlin is most famous for her role on Full House, but she also happens to have starred on Hallmark’s When Calls The Heart, repeatedly starred in the network’s Garage Sale Mysteries, and appeared in a number of Christmas movies. Given her apparently deep connection to the network, The Hallmark Channel has now been forced to distance itself from Loughlin, announcing in a statement (via Variety) that has “stopped development of all productions that air on the Crown Media Family Network channels involving Lori Loughlin.” The statement notes that this even includes Garage Sale Mysteries, which is an “independent third party production.” It’s worth noting that Loughlin was actually in Vancouver filming the latest Garage Sale Mysteries movie when the “Varsity Blues” charges started coming in, which means the decision to suspend production is impacting all of the people who would otherwise be up there working on it. Way to go, rich person. One wonders if Ms. Loughlin will ever have meaningful work in the acting business again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She doesn't really need it. She and her husband live in a house that they bought for $17 million and renovated so that it's now worth $35 million. The two combined are worth an estimated $100 million. Target will be hard-pressed to remove the entire Mossimo line in any due time. Residuals may keep pouring in from previous projects. And the most important part is that they don't have anymore kids that they'll be dumping $500,000 on trying to scam their way into college.

Probably not, if this is true: https://consequenceofsound.net/2019/03/lori-laughlin-fired-fuller-house/ Quote After being charged in connection with the largest college admission scam in American history, actress Lori Loughlin finds herself out of work. Most notably, Loughlin has been fired from Fuller House, Netflix’s revival of the classic American sitcom Full House.
