If I were a parent who sent my kid to CA and my kid had their heart set/intent on applying to Tulane and now they can’t apply ED - I’m ticked off at CA, not Tulane. One parents opinion.
We’re debating if Tulane should or should not have taken - or even have the ability to take - the action they did and what the public optics of that might be. But at the end of the day CA (and other schools) had students that felt the ED “contract” was fungible. We all know the GC’s sign off on those contracts and it’s supposed to be part of their responsibility to explain potential repercussions.
Sorry - a little tired of victim culture. If CA and their students play by the rules (regardless if we agree on what those rules are!) there’s no story here and no repercussions to future classes.
