USC Places Holds on Accounts of Students Who May be Involved with College Admissions Scandal

The school says it's now placed "holds" on the accounts of all students it thinks might have been admitted through the bribery scheme.

After the big college #AdmissionsScandal, #USC plans a case-by-case review...and could expel some students. People seem split as to whether they believe that’s fair. @KNX1070 pic.twitter.com/8kytIiK9qn

Those students can't register for classes during the investigation and USC says those who did get in illegitimately will face discipline that could range up to expulsion.

The school also announced a tuition increase of  3.5 percent to more than $57,000 a year.

USC has been in the news for the past week after a nationwide college bribery case was unveiled by federal prosecutors. Two students are suing USC and other schools with a federal class-action lawsuit and allege the students were denied a fair opportunity for admission.
