U.S. Attorney for District of Massachusetts Andrew Lelling announces indictments in a sweeping college admissions bribery scandal, during a news conference, Tuesday, March 12, 2019, in Boston. Hollywood actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin were charged along with nearly 50 other people Tuesday in a scheme in which wealthy parents bribed college coaches and insiders at testing centers to help get their children into some of the most elite schools in the country, federal prosecutors said. "For every student admitted through fraud, an honest and genuinely talented student was rejected," Lelling said. (AP Photo/Steven Senne)

During an investigation into college admissions fraud and bribery, the FBI discovered students from wealthy families faked learning disabilities to qualify for test accommodations. Families of these students paid as much as $75,000 in bribes to secure diagnoses. Officials responsible for the SAT and ACT defended their efforts to minimize cheating and their accommodations policies as essential to ensure “a fair testing environment.”
