I doubt their parents care enough to pay for cheating at that point. The school name is what really matters.

Some students pay to have papers written for them, and others have access to test banks. It's probably not parents paying off university staff at that point though.

Why would you chose this line of work (serious question, not a value judgment)? Did you know how amoral it was when you first applied? What caused you to leave?

How seedy is it, compared to what we know about Singer? I'm guessing no outright bribery, but what about essay "help"? Cheating on tests?
