A cup on the tablet-arm is the only kind that keeps a lecture on the timetable

A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities sorts 47,440 lecture-seat tablet-arm observations across 14 theatres into five kinds of use --- writing-surface, device-stand, service-tray, claim-token, and stowed --- and finds that only the service-tray kind, a cup or container on the arm, predicts whether the lecture returns in the same slot. The Timetabling Office has adopted an 8 percent weekly tray-share floor as the condition of keeping the room, with no ordinary override.
