| There's been a growing amount of colleges with Luddite Clubs: University of Washington, Columbia University, Pomona College, Vassar College, UC Irvine and others (Source: https://www.theludditeclub.org/programs). Students are growing resentful for peers who spend their time ChatGPT-ing all their essays and creating communities that don't know how to communicate and play with one another. Or...are these just the weirdo schools where students are thinking about how to resist this change? |

| Why does being anti-cheating mean that you don't know how to communicate or play with others? |

| Weirdos. No one wants to give up their smartphones just to virtue signal. |

You do know that every college has a club for nearly anything, right?
Not sure how a student club has any relation to how the school is run. |

No one claimed that relation existed! |

OP’s title seems to say that schools with these clubs are “Luddite campuses”, although I’m not sure OP actually meant to imply that. |

OP did…said the presence of these clubs means that the entire campus is this way. |

No, if you have to use technology all the time you usually get tired of it.
I used to live in an IT heavy employment area, and the churches who were old fashioned but progressive socially were the ones with growing numbers - tech people don't want to look at screens and slide decks for at least one hour on Sunday. |
