Contra Costa Times: Thirty-four charged in DVC grade scandal
Contra Costa County prosecutors have charged 34 current and former Diablo Valley College students suspected of paying to change grades with fraud and other felonies.
The complaints, filed this week in Contra Costa Superior Court, charge the bulk of the students with 51 crimes. Three other students were charged with 11 crimes, while one man was accused of three.
The earliest accusations date to 2001, when Ronald Nixon — a former student employee in the DVC records office — allegedly changed four of his own grades to A’s. Over the course of the next few months, prosecutors say, Nixon added classes he never took to his transcripts, giving himself A’s in each case.
