Well he separated the wheat from the chaff.
Those who want to learn from those who want a class credit.

Too bad he was fired for this. If the University is going to overload classes this is what is going to happen. Good for him to get rid of the people who weren't there to learn.

To be fair, all he had to do was wait a week and those same people wouldn't have shown up anyways.

This is what I like to call: "a culture of defeat". It's all luck anyways, why even try if you're not born into a privileged environment?

It's not a culture of defeath, it's being a realist and fighting against the conventions of a merit-based society.

Sure, why strive to make an effort and take life into your own hands when you can just blame society for everything's that's not going your way and stick your hand out at the government for a cheque?
