The alternative is to ping people or get on a zoom call. But this is demanding of others time, especially since sometimes these contacts are not seen as entirely asynchronous.
You would might need to ping multiple people, or otherwise babysit this issue by successively contacting people, and that isn’t worth it for many people.
When programs are cancelled like this, it’s often for complicated reasons. While getting a personal account is useful (but costly), it’s harder to share this with others. It seems better to create norms to encourage this announcement on the EA Forum.
There is a good chance the parent comment is wrong/noise and this public comment should fix that.
The Campus Specialist program was discontinued? The one announced ~4 months ago?
This seemed like an important thing.
(It seems like there are other ways to ask about this. I am biased to making a public comment, because it seems like good practice [1]).

Yes, it was discontinued shortly after being launched. I am not sure why, but would be very curious to learn why.
