You're a lecturer with 200 people in your class. That's 2 days. Does the lecturer have to leave their computer all the time? Is their email programme going to handle this sort of delay? What do you do if the lecturer wants to send an email about updated homework due in a few days? Some students will have a 2 day head start, is that fair? Do you have to give them extra time/marks?

You're the first year faculty advisor. There are 1,000 people in that year. That's 1 week. Same questions as above.

(And in case you think "Well let the lecturers send more", what makes you think the lecturers aren't the problem in the first place?)
