Amidst all of the talk about the reported coercion attempt, which is bad, may I also ask something about the bait and switch: so you paid a lot of money to attend a given university and then even though your grades and everything else would in theory allow you to follow a class you can be blocked because of resource constraints that are not advertised as something you would have to contend with when you paid the big ticket tuition fee?


Isn't this the case in most universities?


In most of the world once you signed up and got admitted at an university it is for a specific program, and the defined set of courses for the program you are on is set, some first year medical-school lecture-halls can get very crowded and even nasty, but you're still in.
