How Rick Singer’s ‘Side Door’ Worked in College Admissions Scandal

BOSTON—College counselor William “Rick” Singer sneaked dozens of teens into what he dubbed the “side door” of top colleges using fraud and bribery. At a criminal trial this week, a University of Southern California admissions officer testified about how that door opened—and detailed the advantages that make athletics an appealing entry to college for so many U.S. families.

Rebecca Chassin, a 20-year veteran of USC’s admissions office and currently assistant dean of undergraduate admission, said from the witness stand at the federal Varsity Blues trial under way here that the teens admitted to USC in the college-admission cheating scandal wouldn’t have gotten in absent their accolade-laden sports resumes.

I get that this is shitty but how is it illegal? It’s like cutting the line at the concert venue.

Yeah, OK, let's make this about the academic ethics of college athletics rather than rich people committing fraud. Way to carry that water, WSJ.
