Scandal: It’s Not Just For Government

Have you heard about:

The UNC job created for the wife of the former governor of North Carolina (with an $850,000 contract)?
The underqualified applicants admitted to the University of Illinois thanks to political pressure (among them a relative of Tony Rezko’s)?
The university that gamed its way up the US News and World Report list by, among other measures, ranking themselves above all other universities on reputation surveys?
Or
The countless universities that routinely censor sports costs information under the spurious cover of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act?

If not, you clearly haven’t been paying enough attention.
