Former sailing coach John Vandemoer has pleaded guilty to charges that he accepted $270,000 in contributions to the program for agreeing to recommend two prospective students for admission. Tessier-Lavigne said that as a result of the scandal and the university's review, Stanford has adopted policies to bolster admission oversight. Dozens of people, including Hollywood stars, coaches and others have been charged in the wide-ranging scheme. Singer has pleaded guilty to charges including racketeering conspiracy.
