Georgetown University says it plans to expel two students following the national college admissions scandal uncovered earlier this year. Georgetown officials announced the expulsions on Wednesday, several hours after one of the two students made public his own legal action against the school. Adam Semprevivo is taking the school to court over its treatment of him, including its refusal to let him change schools and keep his class credits. Georgetown, which is in Washington, D.C., did not identify the expelled students or accuse them of wrongdoing. A legal representative for Semprevivo confirmed that he was one of the students, however. So far, 50 people, including actors, business leaders and college coaches, have faced criminal charges in the scandal. Wealthy parents stand accused of paying large amounts of money to gain admission for their children at eight well-respected American colleges and universities. The schools include Stanford University, the University of Southern California and Yale University.
