> their mandatory Title 9 intro

I remember the announcement of a "mandatory meeting" for everyone in the dorm shortly after I moved in freshman year. I was intrigued by this concept and asked what would happen if I didn't go. The answer was, "nothing, but we'd like you to be there".

"Mandatory" appears to be experiencing some semantic slippage.
