**Infiltration: How China Cheats Its Way into U.S. Law Schools**
In a concerning revelation, the integrity of American legal education is under threat from foreign interference, specifically from clandestine activities originating in China.
Chinese LSAT preparation companies have repeatedly compromised the security of the LSAT, allowing unqualified Chinese nationals to gain admission into prestigious U.S. law schools.
This alarming breach of trust was highlighted by PowerScore CEO Dave Killoran, who disclosed that a whistleblower from China reached out to him after observing how straightforward it was to cheat the system.
These companies have developed a network of cheating agents who take the LSAT under false pretenses, capturing real exam questions and turning them into a lucrative business model.
Killoran noted that test-takers in China often use fake identifications to exploit remote testing mechanisms, and they rapidly distribute stolen LSAT questions via PDFs to students desperate to pass the examination.
Such academic dishonesty not only undermines the legitimacy of law degrees conferred by American institutions but also raises national security concerns, particularly when these individuals may have access to sensitive information.
The Law School Admission Council (LSAC) has finally acknowledged the gravity of the situation and announced plans to suspend online testing in China.
However, critics argue that this is merely a band-aid solution; the structural vulnerabilities remain. Experts like Rick Hess from the American Enterprise Institute argue that U.S. law schools should petition the State Department for measures to safeguard their admissions processes from foreign exploitation.
Hess rightly points out that the lack of urgency among universities to combat this issue may stem from misplaced priorities.
Alarmingly, there's a pattern of questionable dealings carried out under the watch of the Chinese Communist Party across other U.S. educational institutions, as illustrated by the infiltration at elite universities such as Harvard and the University of California, Berkeley.
A recent poll indicated an overwhelming majority of Trump supporters—over 91%—express concern regarding the presence of Chinese-affiliated groups in American universities. This should be a wake-up call for all officials concerned with maintaining the integrity of our educational system.
As America moves forward, it is vital to scrutinize and reinforce our law schools and educational institutions against foreign manipulation and uphold the academic standards that define our society.
The systemic efforts by China to infiltrate U.S. education represent a significant cultural and ideological threat, demanding bipartisan vigilance and decisive action.
