Hi!

Now that is too cool! But I'm bursting with questions... Were you around
when this policy was instituted, and how did that process go? How do new
tutors unfamiliar with this requirement react when told about it? How is
the determination made which students need tutoring but can't afford it?

Thanks!

Take care,
