Subject: Does TJ send kids back to their home school?
Kids who are below 3.0 were sent a letter earlier this spring and were placed in remediation. I haven’t heard if those students will actually be sent back, though.

That is the official policy, but there are exceptions. If official policy is strictly followed then it would mean 100+ getting sent back due to poor GPA, on top of the ones already leaving by themselves due to rigor.
Word on the street is the school IS going to send kids back this year and enforce the reg that's always been there, but they were lax about in recent years.
I'm not saying you're wrong and I believe Bonitatibus was trying to hide poor performance that could be associated with the new admissions process. But why would Mukai want to be any more transparent about that than her? There will be a political cost to doing that.
Because not everybody is a craven coward.
Some people value the institution and the role it plays.

There are ways to avoid being sent back to the base school.

Two years ago, TJ very quietly removed the minimum 3.0 GPA required to stay enrolled.
I wonder why they did that.
Kind of undermines their belief in the new admissions scheme, eh?

The requirement is still there, it just wasn't enforced.

The ones that can’t hack it go back to regular school.

Once admitted, TJ does not send students anywhere. A student who fails a course may have to repeat it, just as at their base schools.
The kids not returning to TJ leave of their own accord and return to the base or to private.
Some move out of state.
