The University of California at Irvine rescinded nearly 500 acceptances because they realized they were about 500 spaces short for accommodating new freshmen.
Seriously, Academia, can you not do anything right?
There are probably some lawsuits coming out of this but this highlights the biggest problem with out education system--it is run by idiots.
How can you not know how many students you can accept? And think of the emotional damage done to those perspective college students as well as what it means for their future. If it is truly all aobut the kids, they have a funny way of showing it.
If there is ever a reason to defund a school--as if totalitarian punishments for dissent were not enough--this certainly fits the bill. The problem is that if they know the money is coming, there is no incentive to do well. This is a typical problem with any government run organization.
If no one is fired for this or there are no repercussions, then the "education" industry is revealed as a true fraud.This is why Betsy DeVos, for better or worse, is now in charge of the Department of Education.
Stick with community colleges...they can get goofy at times, but they have no problem doing the right thing.
