Students at Gulliver pay over $30,000 a year to attend what is supposed to be a top-tier institution. However, as a result of the overcrowding, students have extremely limited parking, have to sit on the floor of the gymnasium (which has been filled far beyond fire safety standards) during assemblies, have had increasing class sizes, and lack of seating during lunch periods.
Gulliver has not done anything to remedy these issues. In fact, every large improvement to campus facilities has been funded by donation. For a school that claims to be a "non-profit," it is very suspicious that a minimal amount of their income seems to being going back into the school directly. To exemplify this, at the start of this current school year, students were made to sit outside in uncovered bleachers for the start of the year assembly. This is because of the lack of space in the gymnasium. However, even with the outdoor seating, students had to sit on the floor and were in the blazing heat for the entirety of the assembly. Students, teachers, and parents have all requested for years that these bleachers be covered by awnings. In response, Gulliver sent out an email this year requesting donations to fund the construction of the awnings. The construction of the awnings has yet to be started.
Gulliver's history of disciplinary action is extremely corrupt and based primarily on income and reputation rather than the disciplinary concern. Students who have been caught using drugs on campus have frequently been given warnings and mild suspensions. Last year, several freshmen were involved in setting off stink bombs in classrooms throughout the school. One of these freshmen had a parent who was a valued instructor at the school, and another student's father was a lawyer who threatened to sue the school. Neither of these students received harsh punishment.
I think it is worth the time to investigate the behavior of this school's administration and bring it to the attention of the public. The mysterious lack of reinvestment coming from a non-profit organization as well as the corrupt methods for disciplinary action are concerns held by all students and parents that attend the school.
