If they can rebuild their brand as “nurturing college that won"t let students fail and will even oust president who’d want to kick them out right away”, they may have found a niche market, kind of like some colleges in New England that have a special (pricier) program for students with LDs.
All in all, this should remind all “leaders” who think they can solve problems easily that humans aren’t products and can’t be discarded as if they were.
