UC Berkeley inappropriately admitted students as favors to donors
If a rich guy's willing to pay a lot of money to get his dumb kid into a university, enough to fund scholarships for two or three smart-but-poor kids, what's the ethical problem?<p>I see no problem with universities having an admission tier for rich people that's like 10x as expensive as normal tuition, but completely bypasses the application process.<p>Or maybe they auction off 5% of their seats and let the market set the price for those no-qualifications-required seats.
