USC to Continue Legacy Admissions Despite State Ban

They’ve taken a few PR hits in the last several years. There have been a few scandals, from the Tyndall/Nikias mess (which cost the school over $800 million) to the Ridley-Thomas matter to Varsity Blues, where the public seemed particularly annoyed about Aunt Becky’s daughters. It has seemed to me that their scandal received a bit more public focus and outrage than the others, perhaps in part because of Aunt Becky’s seeming lack of contrition.

Though the rep is there, they are not alone.
