No matter what you want to do with PI you must check first that is legal, first on your jurisdiction (state or province), then your country (countries) where you expect your customers to reside.
It doesn't matter what good intentions you have, it might not be enough to keep you out of trouble.
For example, if your jurisdiction forbids you from keeping DOB then make sure you are clean.

This is the whole point about online classes.
Students can pick the style that fits them for courses that cover EXACTLY the same topics.
Different teaching rhythms and speed will match the learning speed of different students.

A person should be involved when an expected minority finds challenges or is missing pre-requisites.

The rest is just politics & and inflamed egos.

True, the Supreme Court's hands were tied by the law ( Federal Arbitration Act or FAA), so it's a matter of changing it. Although decision was not unanimous.

The linked decision article also mentions...
"Future possibility: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) arguably has the authority to overturn this Supreme Court opinion and adopt a regulation prohibiting mandatory arbitration clauses that prohibit access to class-action arbitration."

That's a great link, thanks.

Clearly it's a hot issue and we should keep putting pressure on changing/updating the law. From the article:

"A 2007 Public Citizen report claimed that arbitrators working for the National Arbitration Forum, at the time one of the largest U.S. administrators of consumer arbitrations, had ruled against consumers 94 percent of the time."
