The University of North Carolina-Greensboro has suspended its universitywide laptop requirement because it does not have financial aid to help pay for the program, the News & Observer reports. The school had required laptops since 2005. However, individual departments such as the business school still require students to own a laptop.

UNC-Greensboro Suspends Laptop Requirement

University should view all the pros and cons before such making decisions in the first place. It is a tragedy that a mandatory education requirement has been changed without a proper policy in Hand. It has a huge impact on the students who are ready to graduate now as the face a different policy. This is a mockery of education system. Hopefully such decisions are not made without proper impact analysis.
