With the Lasallian Enrichment Alternative Program (LEAP) 2025 fast approaching, the statement opens the door to public discourse. Contrary to the “freedom wall posts” cited in the statement, the article did not speculate on the miscellaneous tuition fees. It only covered the financial operations tied to LEAP, including LEAP 2023’s misappropriated funds and LEAP 2024’s delayed vendor dues. In reality, The LaSallian does not exist to protect reputations or bend to convenient narratives. This is what our LEAP article set out to investigate, and this is the kind of journalism we will continue to pursue.
