MSU history professors tackle campus loneliness with tech bans

Original: MSU history professors tackle college loneliness with broad technology bans

History professors at Michigan State University are arguing that broad restrictions on technology could help address widespread loneliness among college students. The proposal, reported by the university's student newspaper, frames constant device use as a barrier to face-to-face connection on campus. The idea is drawing attention as universities nationwide search for responses to student isolation and declining social engagement.
