@mzyw @nlowell Adding a residency requirement is not a game changer. It’s probably a good idea - especially at the undergraduate level.

@AlliFlowers @nlowell Would you still insist on this with the understanding that undergraduates now include people who may be older, employed, and are caretakers?

No. I agree it's a step backwards.

Having been one of those students myself and having been a victim of residential requirements for much of my life, I'm deeply committed to seeing them all blown up.

I got my doctorate to learn how to teach them to do it better.

Unfortunately learning how to do it correctly made my inability to get institutions to actually implement policies and procedures that foster success made me bitter and cynical.

@nlowell @mzyw My doc program had two one-week residency programs. I got a ton out of the first one. I don’t believe that’s too much to require.
