Case study finding from the results and discussion section: the article states "Choice and options were not addressed meaningfully by the IHE," and that students had to utilize the system to engage with departments such as advising, housing, and financial aid.
"While students could opt out of receiving text messages and limit how much they used the system personally, they could not remove themselves from the system as a whole."
