Local: Diablo Valley College Students Face Conspiracy Charges in Grade-Changing Scandal
Henry K. Lee writes in The San Francisco Chronicle:
Nearly three dozen current and former students at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill have been charged with crimes in connection with a grade-changing scandal going back to 2000, Contra Costa prosecutors said today.More here.
The 34 defendants face various felony charges of fraudulent computer access and conspiracy and misdemeanor charges of fraudulent use of a diploma. The charges are outlined in three separate complaints released today by prosecutors and filed this month in Contra Costa County Superior Court.
Deputy District Attorney Dodie Katague declined to discuss the case today, and school administrators did not immediately return a call for comment. Those named in the complaint could not be immediately reached or weren't available.
College officials believe as many as 400 grades were changed in deals that sometimes involved payments of thousands of dollars.
