Besides this a lot of schools require you to be on their overpriced housing and meal plans.

The school I attended recently, which is not listed in the article, but quite similar, has been tightening these policies because of “community” and “food security” and supposedly aligning themselves with historical tradition (but they have been allowing juniors and seniors to live off-campus and off the meal plan for decades at this point). But it’s easy to see through their fake benevolence and notice their profit-driven intent.

In fact, Anna’s Archive has a special offer to AI companies. Probably much cheaper and much less destructive than destroying books.
