USC says following a review, 'we will take the proper action related to their status, up to revoking admission or expulsion.'
The University of Southern California has blocked students who were linked to the admissions scandal from registering for classes and getting their transcripts.
Charges in the $25 million scheme were announced last week against 50 people. The allegations included parents bribing college athletic coaches and administrators, having other people take admission tests for their kids and hiring people to correct incorrect answers on standardized tests. "Following the review, we will take the proper action related to their status, up to revoking admission or expulsion," the school added.According to the indictment, Loughlin allegedly told a cooperating witness that she would have her daughter pose for a photograph on a rowing machine in order to boost her daughter's college application, which falsely claimed she was on a crew team.
