The University of California announced changes to its admissions process Thursday in response to a recent college admissions scandal.

The UC said in a press release it will be taking steps to strengthen the policies and procedures of its undergraduate admissions process.

The announcement is in response to the recent college admissions scandal uncovered in March in which a federal investigation found parents paid Rick Singer, who provided college admissions consulting services, to help their children cheat on standardized tests.

The investigation also found parents helped their children gain admission to prestigious colleges as student-athletes despite never having played their respective sports competitively. Former UCLA men’s soccer coach Jorge Salcedo was indicted for allegedly accepting $200,000 to secure two students admission to the university as student-athletes, regardless of their athletic ability.

The UC initiated an audit of its admissions process through the UC Office of Ethics, Compliance and Audit Services following the admissions scandal, according to the press release. The university said it accepts all the recommendations from the audit.

According to the press release, UC President Janet Napolitano has also asked each of the UC chancellors to create campus-specific plans to address the recommendations.

  1. If your desire is to produce $5646 month after month with with the use of your very own connection to the web combined with laptop or computer then I wanted to quickly go over my past experiences. Couple of years before I used to be working in privately-owned business and not receiving respectable salary with respect to my effort. Afterward my good pal revealed to me a story about an online opportunity you could do at comfort of home by working with online world and laptop or pc and the best thing about it we could get the job done any time we intend to and get hold of the revenue on week by week basis. It’s contrary to a buzz that you really see everywhere that yields to get you extremely wealthy in two to three weeks or so. At the moment after using this life changing opportunity for all this time I am going to say that it is the finest on line job I am going to obtain because by carrying out this venture I am able to work when ever I am free to do it. Every Time I was being employed in private venture I had been not able to get some more free time with my friends and family but now since 2 yrs I am handling this on line profession and at this moment I am spending the extra time with my household members at home or by heading outside to any place I like. This job can be as straightforward just as browsing on web pages and working on copy paste job that anybody can do ->-> collectfolly.online-net.de
