It’s a dog eat dog world out there, people. The reason for this change is because an increasing number of schools found themselves in very dire straits in terms of enrollment last May. Some did exactly what is now allowed, although it was technically not okay. I think enough schools are so worried about filling their class that the majority said they are okay with the rule change … so they can do it, too.
The pool of available students is shrinking. The cost to run a school is increasing. Schools will do whatever they can to get students, even “taking them” from other schools. Survival of the fittest … or maybe of the craftiest.
