Our IT department is now taking control of the extensions we can use in Chrome. There is an "approved" list and we can make a request for an exception. How do I ask for an exception for Unpaywall without sounding like a crook?

I wanted "get his ass" but I'm not sure there's a perfect translation for that.

I'm not necessarily arguing the overall argument; things will need to change. But, the premise feels off a bit to me.

it suggests a transactional model of teaching and learning. Content delivery. That's not a given and I'm not comfortable with calling that a "contract" because I don't believe the buyers understand those terms.

"Once upon a time, course content was delivered by an instructor. Students would demonstrate learning and the instructor would offer feedback and ultimately give a final assessment: a grade. This was the central contract."

Are you comfortable with that claim?
