He assured me that it was a last-minute addition, therefore not in the drafts sent to us earlier (where it could have been corrected) and that the School will issue either a clarification or an addendum. That does not mean that the other Policies are faultless -- far from it -- but this one is most blatant and will be taken care of. G.D.
