Officials write: “Proper punctuation in identifications is necessary to delineate explicitly each product or service within a list and to avoid ambiguity,” reminding her, “Commas, semicolons, and apostrophes are the only punctuation that should be used.” This comes days after her parents were arrested in Operation Varsity Blues, a widespread scam wealthy parents allegedly used to help their kids get into elite colleges.
