What do the college scandals mean?

Seems like there have been a lot more college scandals this year.
Not just one-campus-scandal, but across the board.

* Student loans scandal.
  Uncovered by a recent female college graduate (good going), the loan scandals cover the entire country.

* Study abroad scandal.
  Apparently, some companies provided benefits or other perks to college officials to support their own study abroad programs.

* MIT admissions counselor.
  This was just at one campus, but it ranks with the other scandals in my opinion.  For 28 years, the head of admissions at MIT was misleading in her credentials. 

What do you think of the college scandals? Business as usual? Or a sign of an out of date education system in bad need of reform?
