Still, students like Kalyn Redlowsk, another second-year day student, disagree and believe the requirement is misguided. It's ludicrous, because there is no way to tell how people are spending their time. They could be watching television or partying. They could be learning the law if they are clerking and that is more beneficial. Nancy Valenta, also in her second year as a day student, believes the policy is unrealistic.
Many students have a hard time getting by financially, especially if it is a private school.
If they're excelling, it should not matter. If there is trouble, they shouldn't be working as much. It should be up to the student.
