DVC: buy yourself an A
I just heard about the scandal over at Diablo Valley College, one of the many prominent junior colleges around the Bay Area. This Contra-Costa times article which was published in May confirms that as many as 400 poor grades were changed via the records department over three years in exchange for money, sometimes up to $600, and possibly also sexual favors. Bay Area junior colleges are big sources for transfer students at Cal, it is possible that some of your classmates may have been admitted based on lies and bribery. The scholastic world is continually more cutthroat, which drives students to break some legal and moral boundaries has been seen before by The Patriot, like in a May 2006 Patriot article on prostitution.
The fault lies with the students for not taking responsibility for their failures and for cheating, and it also lies with the administration for taking bribes and permitting the rules to be broken. Any DVC alumns with comments out there?
That story came out 6 weeks ago. Good job.
