Kudos to KKG for dropping them. It's nice to see a little bit of accountability being doled out for this whole shady situation, even though it was probable these young women would never be returning to USC. It would be nice to see some of the colleges and universities in this scandal booting out or withdrawing degrees from the other fraudulent students, but that probably won't happen on any large scale. I hope Ms. Loughlin and her hubby see some jail time for what they did. What frauds.

While USC is not allowing Olivia Jade and Bella Giannulli to withdraw from the school during investigation over the college admissions cheating scandal, the sisters are no longer part of their sorority.

How is it possible that USC is not allowing them to withdraw? Are they forcing tuition to be paid? Making the girls go to class? How is this possible?

The girls are not attending classes nor living on campus. Aside from the semester when the scandal broke, I don't know how a school could require students to continue to pay for a service (the education) that they are no longer using. One cannot refuse to allow a student to withdraw from school. While they are embroiled in a scandal and likely enrollment status has been put on some kind of hold due to pending legal action and a university review process, a school may not "force" a student to remain enrolled or attend classes. What a silly idea. I weep for what passes as journalism these days.

You're far from the only one. At least 90% of what is called journalism right now would have earned the writer an F in college.
