John Vandemoer, a former head sailing coach at Stanford, is the first person to be sentenced in the CollegeCheatingScandal. He was sentenced to one day in prison, a $10,000 fine and two years of supervised release
A former head sailing coach at Stanford avoided prison time for agreeing to help students get into the elite university as recruited athletes in exchange for money for his sailing program, a judge ruled Wednesday.
He will pay a $10,000 fine and serve two years of supervised release, including six months of home confinement with electronic monitoring. "If we fail to take these crimes seriously, if you give just a slap on the wrist instead of real punishment. ... We are short changing not only the criminal justice system, but all those kids in high school who are working hard every day in an effort to improve their own lives and to get into the best school they can honestly and through hard work," Rosen said.
His lawyers had urged the judge to keep him out of prison, noting the coach quickly accepted responsibility for his actions and didn't pocket any of the money for himself. They say Vandemoer was seeking only to "help the sailing program he loved." Debra Zumwalt, Stanford vice president and general counsel, said in a letter filed in court that it views the $770,000 it received from Singer's sham foundation as "tainted" and is trying to determine "an appropriate way for those funds to be used for the public good."
