These schools receive Federal Funding in the form of student loans and federal work study programs which makes it fair game for the Feds to investigate for corruption unfortunately. Providing cash bribes is a crime and unethical

But I am more concerned that we are making a federal crime of every activity. It is only up to an aggressive prosecutor or making the wrong person or group of people angry and the crime already exists.
It is not that I am saying that what the big guys are alleged to have done is right but rather just because an act is unethical does it need to be illegal. Just because an act is stupid does it have to be against the law.
Good that the unethical activities of those accused are revealed. Though most of those who really care already knew the unethical activities were going on. But should this really be a federal crime?
