Like everything these days, all is Topsy turvy and a quagmire if stinking muck!
Schools want to show power over students no matter what. In the long run, there will come a shake up when schools realize that their enrollment is not going to put up with being brow beaten and not go to said school! The social, media grows so fast, word gets out, and I don't care how self import any school is, it hurts them! Who while on campus does over all the best such as donations as Alumni, and like Scrooge, it can come back and haunt them!
After all, it is the season, Bah Hum bug!
