It is unlikely that faculty would push for technology change if someone else didn't. Other ways could be as efficient. The proposal is not a solution to a perceived problem. It seems to make more sense to have carts of laptops available for classes, so that areas could have specialized software easily available. Perhaps ISC could offer this as a proposal.
Faculty are critical of the requirement.
A faculty vote endorsing the document would add credibility to it. Student opinion is that a laptop requirement would not be a factor in whether or not they would choose Grinnell. Some computer labs will be taken away, but not all. However, not required-just available. They will be slower than hardwired computers.
