It's easy to see these men as individual bad apples. But I'd argue--they were enabled by "elite" universities' look-the-other-way approach to dealing with big-name bad actors, and by the fact that, societially, we treat people associated with "elite" schools as automatically deserving of deference.

A structural feature of social stratification in contemporary societies is the confluence of advantages and disadvantages. It seems an obvious fact, and yet it is not fully recognized. The highly educated have greater income, privileged access to housing, prestigious occupations.... (1/5)

Multiple Correspondence Analysis of socioeconomic variables among adult population in Spain in 2018. The figure shows the confluence of advantages and disadvantages as a structural feature of social stratification.
