Remember Full House?  Remember how wholesome and family-friendly it was?  Remember Aunt Becky?  She was married to Uncle Jesse.  She was part of that wave of television which instilled good family values and strong moral character while still being funny and entertaining...life before the OC.But despite Lori Loughlin's fairly robust acting career, she found herself on the wrong side of the law.  In this episode, Paul breaks down the largest college admissions scandal in US history.  The "Varsity Blues" case showcased everything wrong with how rich, entitled people could manipulate and cheat the system to get their kids into the higher education programs of their choice.  There was no trial here, everyone in the case pleaded guilty, so this episode is a little different.  But most cases don't go to trial, the vast majority of prosecutions end up in guilty pleas.  Without getting into the weeds on whether that, in and of itself, is an issue we need to remedy, this case presents a look at the common situation of what you do when you have one legal argument to make, and it doesn't work.  When a defense lawyer sees one avenue to getting a case dismissed, and the judge disagrees, sometimes the best advice you can give to a client is, know when to take a deal and reduce your punishment.This case is also interesting because of the unique nature of the deal that Loughlin got.  Listen and enjoy!

Being honest and truthful in your application is the first step to take when trying to get into the college of your dreams. It's common to try and make ourselves look good in the application, but there is a fine line between trying to look good and lying. In this episode, Thomas shares some tips about this topic, citing the Varsity Blues Scandal - one of the most significant cases of this nature ever investigated. It's crucial to understand this process: admissions based on merit are a priority for schools, and any misinformation provided in the application can result in the revoking of the admission at any time. Key Highlights The Varsity Blues Scandal was classified as a conspiracy. People involved in this fraud took advantage of loopholes in the admission process. You can't control or prevent anyone from cheating. There is a fine line between lying and making yourself look good. All claims and statements need to match reality. Schools can and sometimes will revoke the admission if any misstatement arises. About Thomas Thomas is a parent and alumnus of the University of Pennsylvania.

As two black girls from the suburbs, this particular incident was incredibly interesting. Jess and B both work in underserved communities, B as a high school teacher and Jess works for the local government. Their backgrounds meant that the rampant privilege taking place directly affect those in the community that they work with. Many systems are set up to allow the privileged to prosper, ESPECIALLY in the education system, and it is about time that these types of incidents have come to the light. The disparities in society are only increasing and will continue to do so, unless something is done to promote equality and close the gap between the rich and the impoverished.

The Varsity Blues scandal blew the lid off the college admissions process two years ago this month. For many parents, the scandal underscored what they already were feeling: the process of getting your kid into a good college is not only challenging, it can be unfair — and even corrupt. With deferrals, postponements and no standardized testing, COVID has made the process even more challenging.  In this episode, college admissions experts Cynthia Muchnick and Jenn Curtis address how to best support your child through the  process as well as how the scandal and Covid have impacted it.  Cynthia and Jenn are the authors of The Parent Compass: Navigating Your Teen's Wellness and Academic Journey in Today's Competitive World— named the number one Best Parenting Audiobook in 2021 by Book Authority.

In what is being called the largest admissions scams in U.S. history, referred to as the Varsity Blues Scandal, at least 50 people, including celebrities, were charged with felonies.  The scandal shook the American people’s beliefs in the integrity of higher education institutions.   My guest today, Joseph Jay, author of Bloomberg Law article titled, “I Helped Investigate 18 Years of Paper Classes at UNC – Lessons for the Admissions Scandal,” joins me to highlight lessons learned from his work on the University of North Carolina paper class scandal. We explore the takeaways from these scandals and what C-Suite members can learn from how colleges and universities responded to the scandals. Joseph Jay is a partner in the Government Contracts, Investigations & International Trade Practice Group in Sheppard Mullin’s Washington, D.C. office. Joe's practice encompasses a broad array white collar defense, corporate investigations, and international trade matters. His matters include defense of civil and criminal enforcement actions and investigations, compliance counseling and regulatory advice. What We Discuss in This Episode: What led Joe to write the Bloomberg Law about the admissions scandal? What was the Varsity Blues Scandal? What is the first step in responding to a scandal like the one in higher education? How does an organization remain calm and not get caught up in the media frenzy that often follows high profile scandals? What is a “holding statement” in a time of crisis? After pressing pause on the surrounding chaos by issuing a holding statement, what is the next step in assessing the problem? Since universities tend to be more public than private organizations, what differences exist between how the two institutions handle crises? Are university leaders being disingenuous when they say they want to “get to the bottom” of the problem? What’s the best way to rebuild trust with stakeholders? What is the impact of universities and their behavior in our societies? Are universities so focused on securing student dollars that they are abandoning their missions? What is the one thing that gets organizations in trouble the most when addressing a crisis?
