Campus police say she allegedly changed her grades in maths and science classes from Fs to As. And police say she changed an 'incomplete' to a passing grade in an education class.
Police stated that the plan was simple and very effective at gaining access to key systems. However, it also left a trail of evidence that pointed to her.
Insler is currently on bail awaiting a full hearing.
