the cynic might say they're trying to maximize the pr value, after a string of bad publicity.
usc was incidentally part of an fbi indictment against mark ridley-scott, a long-time local politician who was on the city council when he essentially bribed usc to let his son go there in exchange for lucrative contracts for the social work school.

I think it is safe to assume it is.

Let his son go to USC on a full graduate scholarship and simultaneously give the son a professor salary at the public policy school. They should offer the descendants of the interned the same deal.
Does this benefit anyone but USC?
Curious from others. Is there a reason that Japanese American is not hyphenated in this article but it is in many other places including government documents. What is the convention around this?
But I’m not clear on the significance of this announcement of a coming apology? Why not just issue an apology now and seek out the families to send a more personal apology to them over the coming months?
