Harvard’s former fencing coach and a Maryland telecom executive has been arrested Monday in an elaborate $1.5M bribery scheme that allegedly secured the businessman’s sons entry into the school and spots on the fencing team. Jie ’Jack’ Zhao bought coach Peter Brand’s Needham house at an inflated price, renovated his new condo, paid his bills, among other favors.
Ivy league schools are nothing more than educational cesspools.
There was some form of a payoff in getting the sons into school. The Asian community doesn't overpay for anything. For this man to spend well more than he should only confirms there is something illegal happening.
“Ivy Leagues” are dying as a concepts and as a reality.
He was just trying to get an Asian kid in the school since scholastic admissions doesn’t allow that any more..... Sarcasm
