Another parent is facing jail time as a result of falsifying documents in order to get their child into college. Marjorie Klapper, 50, of Menlo Park, CA was sentenced to three weeks in prison, one year of supervised release, ordered to complete 250 hours of community service and to pay a fine of $9,500 after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud back in May.
United States Attorney Andrew E. Lelling stated: “This defendant paid $15,000 to arrange for her son to cheat on the ACT and then falsely claimed on his college applications that he was Black or Latino,” adding, “Ms. Klapper thereby not only corrupted the standardized testing system, but also specifically victimized the real minority applicants already fighting for admission to elite schools. We respectfully disagree that a three-week sentence is a sufficient sanction for this misconduct.”
