University of Washington student faces disciplinary action over class-swapping tool

JD Kaim, a sophomore at the University of Washington, faces disciplinary action after creating a website to help students swap classes. The university claims the site violated registration policies against automated enrollment tools. Kaim removed the site at the university's request but is now on a registration hold, preventing him from enrolling in future courses. He describes this as a "soft expulsion" and is concerned about his academic future. Despite the university's stance, Kaim argues his platform only facilitated voluntary class swaps. He has received support from the tech community and hopes to resolve the situation to continue his education.
