They were applying to the school without the knowledge that “unqualified students were slipping in through the back door of the admissions process,” the Trojan reported, citing the lawsuit.USC, Stanford, the University of San Diego, the University of Texas at Austin, Wake Forest University, Georgetown University and Yale University are all named as defendants in the suit, along with William Singer, who is accused of being one of the masterminds of the fraud.The suit also claims that university administrators were or should have been aware of the fraud due to the fact that the money went to school officials with university accounts.The lawsuit seeks $5 million, which would represent the admission fees paid by students who applied and were denied entry, Fox News reports.
