Is Investing in Grades a Good Idea? No!!!!!

34 people had felony charges brought against them for changing grades at a public California community college, and is considered one of the worst grade changing scandals in history. According to news reports, Diablo Valley College, located in Pleasant Hill, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area, had a huge grade changing ring operating since 2000. Students supposedly pay up to $600 per grade to change an F to an A, in order to get into U.C. Berkeley, U.C. Davis, San Francisco State, and even Cal Poly. Apparently, dozens of student workers had access to the grade portal. The comment from the chancellor of the Contra Costa Community College District of which DVC was a part of was "We were clueless."
