Bro Armin's 'alternative' school

It looks like Bro. Armin Luistro is set to transform De La Salle Universtiy into an "alternative" school. Sources disclosed that the good brother has been reportedly organizing so-called alternative clases meant to entice students into attending Black and White Movement's anti-GMA activites. Faculty members are allegedly ordered oto send students (ala "hakot" style) to attehd symposia and other gimmicks like noise brigades and candle lighting ceremonies. Some faculty members are reportedly against the idea, but are allegedly compelled to comply because they do not want to jeopardize their tenure. Other professors on the other hand are said to welcome such alternative classes because they wouldnt have to prepare lesson plans. All they have to do is send their students to those politically inspired activities. For being cooperative and obedient, students reportedly get bonus points during exams, and those who have already accumulated excessive absences or whose academic performances are far from impressive get incentives in their grades. As a result, students no longer see the need to study for exams since the attendance sheet from the alternative classes is enough to pull up their sagging grades, the sources claimed. Parents are naturally unhappy overt his development, and are urging the Commission on Higher Education to look into this practice.

If there's any truth to this (which isnt unlikely), then I chide at the very thought of it.
Lasallian education has got to be better than this.
