Brock, I do not desire to get into a long, disquieting argument over this matter. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I am from the old school where a person's word means something.
I shall leave it at that! Whether or not he decides to attend UL does not affect me one way or the other. Our University will be remain in existence, regardless of his decision. Will I support him if he does attend UL. Certainly, but with some caution.
In a sense this experience may help him to attain some maturity. It may teach him to "look before you leap".
