My policy is to allow laptop use not only (obviously) for students who have an accommodation but also for those who simply request it. This didn't come up this semester, but it's crucial to be thoughtful here about disability accommodations, as the post details
That this is happening makes me so sad because I know I never could have gotten through University if I had to write everything in class on paper in person. I was simply too disabled. Trying to stop AI usage in classrooms (understandable) is going to disproportionately impact disabled students.

In 2016, I got death threats when I posted about Katie Johnson on Twitter.
Johnson is the woman who says she was raped by Trump when she was only 13 years old.
I watched the entirety of her video testimony and found it credible, which I say as someone who has worked with CSA survivors for decades.

The National Enquirer tried to catch and kill the Katie Johnson story. Then they got ahead of it in an attempt to discredit her. And many of us bought it—hook, line, and sinker katemanne.substack.com/p/they-tried...
