It does afaik so I'm confused what the monetary scam is. Community College in California is cheap or free for most students so I feel like something is being left out of the explanation.


Student loans are usually for more than tuition and books. Part of the loan money is for living expenses.


If someone is able to first scam state and financial aid for a non existent student that seems more first issue to fix than at the point there's a bot/scammer in CC classes submitting AI homework.


You asked what the monetary scam was. I answered that. Don’t understand your response above.


I'm commenting on the gist of the article, not disagreeing with you.
