    Unfortunately many courses now give assignments through sites that are only accessible by purchasing a textbook with a unique access code

      So in every other country if they tried something like that, students would kick up shit, government would step in and sort it

      So it’s either, too pussy to stand up for yourselves, or you’re living in a dictatorship

      Which is it? 😂

      A professor at my university tried that, but the students quite quickly made a huge fuss, got the principals office involved, and the universities lawyers informed said professor that what she was doing was illegal, and that she should stop before she got any more trouble. She stopped.

          Possibly a poor translation from my side: I’m referring to the “head office” of the university, i.e. the group of people under the direct leadership of the principal, who have the highest administrative authority at the university.
