Oh.  Let the bidding begin.

People have been able to buy their kids' way into fancy private schools for as long as private schools have been around.  That includes Stanford.  It's just a matter of price.  The Varsity Blues scandal revealed that the price at U$C is lower than previously understood for people who were willing to be shady about it.  I'm guessing U$C will establish stronger internal rules and procedures to make sure that the school capitalizes on the full value of admissions-for-sale going forward, and that people won't be able to buy their way into the school with smaller donations to parochial department funds as much anymore.
