Chapter 11 - THE SCHOOL STOPPED LETTING MONEY TOUCH DISCIPLINECrestwood rewrote its disciplinary procedures.

Were scholarship students reporting more harassment?
Were complaints involving athletes being handled differently?
Were donor-connected students receiving fewer consequences?
Data instead of assurances.
Dad hated bureaucracy.

He hated hidden favoritism more.
The system stayed.
