...this reunion marks a significant milestone. Just months after the Supreme Court held anti-sodomy laws unconstitutional, this event, in its own small way, underscores the dramatic progress that gays and lesbians have made in the law and in American society during the past 25 years.

But it does not produce good results if enrollments are open, unless students are not allowed to change courses. In any case, without a clearer picture of the magnitude of the problem—how bad are current enrollment estimates?—it would have been hard to know if preregistration had improved matters...
