My brother is still fighting to get his scholarship back.
There are rumors that Scholaship policies will be changed so the Jenkins Family can take the scholarships away "legally" and saying to the media that most of the students do not meet the scholarship policies. In other words they are taking them away anyway but on next semester.
And trust me, rumors are now 99% accurate.
The jenkins are taking money out from the University to support their unsuccesful business such as the mall "El triangulo" where they have a huge building complety empty because of lack of demand (http://www.panoramio.com/photo/1822031).
This generation of Jenkins are not only stupid in business but they live in the past, where corruption and authoritarianism prevails.
Liberty of expresion has been complety removed, teachers caught talking bad about the jenkins are fired.
Two years ago all of the security staff was replaced with people that do not question their orders.
And you may not believe this but there is people who was threatened on their lives or family lives if they declare against the Jenkins. Obviously this people can´t risk their family and they quit.
This last thing is a fact.
The only reason why the the scholarships were returned was because all of the TV and RAdio was making a lot of pressure on them for the first time, and of course because this is the first time the students protested so massively.
Udla is a great university because it is made by the people who work and study there. However, the Jenkins do not care anymore for the university or education.
All this is very very very sad.
