From Times Wire Reports
A worker in Southern University’s registrar’s office took money to change grades for 541 current and former students, the school’s chancellor said. The scandal probably will cost at least some students their degrees and could lead to criminal charges.
Undergraduate and graduate students at the nation’s largest historically black university were implicated, and some paid to have as many as 20 grades changed, Chancellor Edward Jackson said.
The school’s report has been turned over to East Baton Rouge Parish Dist. Atty. Doug Moreau.
