A Georgetown University student entangled in the admissions bribery scandal is suing the school to protect himself from potential disciplinary action
- Georgetown University said on Wednesday it plans to expel two students in connection with the sweeping U.S. college admissions bribery scandal.
Georgetown did not identify the expelled students or accuse them of wrongdoing. A lawyer for Semprevivo confirmed in an interview that the 21-year-old psychology major, who just completed his junior year, was one of them. Georgetown said knowingly misrepresenting or falsifying credentials in applications could be grounds for dismissal.
Prosecutors said the father paid $400,000 to William “Rick” Singer, the California consultant at the center of the scandal, to help his son enter Georgetown as a tennis recruit. He said the rescission means Semprevivo, who spent the last semester studying in Prague, must forfeit his academic credits and 3.18 grade point average, and that his parents cannot recoup more than $200,000 of tuition.
