<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 400;">We recently learned that SOLE has removed most non-students from the Engage platform, due to the price of the Engage platform subscription being based on userbase size.
For the time being, non-students can be re-added on a case-by-case basis by emailing <</span><a href="mailto:sole@mit.edu"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none;">sole@mit.edu</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 400;">>.
ASA was not aware this was going to take place, and we’re communicating with SOLE to mitigate the impact of this, as well as to prevent similar issues from taking us by surprise in the future.</span></p>
