The public relations advisors suggest that the messenger be shot rather than deal with the message! Where have Inglewoodians send that ploy before? !
Sadly the disregard for thevi Tim of the sexual harassment seems to have been what” white-washed” or buried as if it. Never occurred?
Basically we have learned that USC is more interested in celebrity connected students than fair and equitable admissions standards!!!
What student that studied hard to earn 4.0 grades can possibly think USC embodies the moral character we all believe we want future heads of industry to embrace??
This trial gives us significant insiges into the USC philosophy, How tragic that now for some in hiring positions seeing USC on a resume will automatically give a reason to pause and wonder it this grad was taught be a legitimate professor or by someone from the friend and family coalition
