It’s called progress. You can always become Amish. You make the choice - you suffer the consequences of your choice.

If you can’t for some reason use a smart phone, then yes the college should offer assistance just like most colleges offer assistance for people with disabilities.

Progress implies society is becoming better, more equitable, and a heathier environment to live in. O don't see how mandating smartphone ownership works towards any of those.

Limiting access to services that were previously available is certainly not progress.
