Apparently, some universities (including elites) are buying lists of potential students they know won't qualify, encouraging them to apply, then rejecting them in order to show lower acceptance rates. A lower acceptance rate helps raise their national ranking, and correspondingly lowers Valpo's.

So before everyone goes crazy about this being a Breitbart article... the original was from the Wall Street Journal. This is as messed up as the celebrity college admissions scandal. These universities need to be called out publicly for this practice. Any ideas as to why the article didn't name names??
So we can stay on point rather than turn this into a political discussion...
There are other similar articles out there in cyber space, as revealed by a 30-second Google search.

Yes, The schools should come before congress as material witnesses because they work for Joe Biden. At the same time Hunter Biden was getting money from corrupt university oligarchs. I say now. you, the media, do your jobs and print the schools names.
