I think this is a great example of both compromise and overreaction. In the end, they are clearly trying to give students the tools they want, but this should have been the first response, not the second. I can't find it now but the other yale student that wrote the chrome extension was the main catalyst. He took the complaints of Yale and removed them therefore forcing them to find new logic, which they did. Hats off to him.

That logic was bs from the beginning they just taught they could strong-arm the students into submitting.

It's the typical shoot first ask questions later philosophy that intelligent well educated teachers should never have used.

If they would have addressed their concerns from the beginning to the students i'm certain they would have complied.
