Arizona State University is considering a plan that would require students to bring laptop computers to classes at its campus in downtown Phoenix, starting next fall. But some of those students aren’t pleased with the proposal.
In a board editorial, Arizona State’s online student newspaper opposed the plan, arguing that it would prove too expensive.
"Why would students who will just be writing papers be required to have a laptop when they could just as easily write the paper at home on the computer they already own?" the editors ask.
