Is XU still for sale?
The opposition to the planned sale stemmed precisely from the counsel of Jesuit superior general Fr. Arturo Sosa Abascal SJ who wrote Yap that all sectors must first be heard. The Concerned Parents, Teachers, Alumni, and Community (COPTAC) against the sale had collected testimonies from alumni and even from tenured faculty that Yap had pre-determined the “consultations” to calculatingly weed out opposing views. COPTAC believed the consultations were mock. A bypassed faculty intimated it took the courage of resistance to oppose the autocratic Bobby Yap.
