That’s not “some” New York City colleges, it’s all the top ones!
If the student is repeating a lie from the “asylum seeker” or participating in a scheme to mislead the government in any way, even unknowingly, they should be punished personally. Let the applicants fill out their own paperwork in their own handwriting!
Reminds me of when Massachusetts gun-grabber state senator Cheryl Jacques paid youth from City Year (Americorps) to stage 4,000 empty shoes on the steps of Trinity Church to represent the “victims of gun violence” prior to a political rally. Gun activists investigated and got her charged with criminal misuse of federally funded workers for political action. Jacques never even got her wrist slapped… but the kids had their pay for all the work they did confiscated. Yeah, Democrat justice prevailed, slave labor is so wonderful!
How in the world does any of this, or any other non-academic, non-educational activity for that matter, warrant academic credit towards graduation or a degree? And the whacademics wonder why people are questioning the value of a college education.
