USC won't admit any student applicants involved in the college-admissions scandal; current students will be evaluated case by case
William “Rick” Singer, who owns an admissions consulting firm, is accused of conspiring with wealthy parents to pay bribes to get their children into prestigious schools. He has pleaded guilty.
USC’s interim President Wanda Austin told the Los Angeles Times that about a half-dozen students affiliated with Singer’s firm will be barred. A USC statement said officials will also conduct a case-by-case review of current students and graduates tied to the allegations. Among those current students is Olivia Jade Giannulli, daughter of actress Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, who was reportedly celebrating spring break in the Bahamas on a yacht owned by a USC board of trustees member when the indictments were handed down Tuesday.
