The whole point of this "bunny-drowning" was to get allegedly-marginal students to drop out before the deadline for declaring enrollment. That way, the school could claim a greater graduation rate, and thus look better in the college guides. Behold another example of what happens when you declare "XXX* should be run as a business."

*XXX being anything non-profit, be it education, government, hospitals, etc.
