Yes! And localities are trying to make that worse with limits on the number of unrelated students sharing housing & other weird legislation--my city currently has a proposal to put a $300 surcharge on any landlord renting to students, which would obviously directly increase student costs.

One big accomplishment this semester for me was figuring out how to make a way for people to select their college from a 2-stage (state then school) in Qualtrics for my MA thesis student.

This is actually one of the real trust issues I would be up for talking about because I believe (the reality of) elite impunity within higher ed is why people think colleges with 85% acceptance rates are actually only admitting 15% and foregoing their responsibilities to the public

I had one of these as an adjunct during grad school. It was before ACA so more common, but it basically would have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for catastrophic care that my dinky grad student insurance would never have covered.

An enormous number of people don't seem to understand that something can be political without being explicitly partisan.

Azalastine is often even better than Pataday but I think it's not stylish among the drs anymore for some reason

Also, if the particular thing being assessed was speed, students can't necessarily get accommodations for extra time bc it would be considered a fundamental alteration, just like blind people can't take a driving or pilot license test. But speed isn't a learning outcome in almost any field of study.

Or perhaps this is their goal.

So it would then be ok for landlords to say students aren't allowed to have housing at all.

I've definitely used a level 2 while at a stop of that length. Sometimes you just need a few miles to get to the next place.
