An Interview Study of How the Community-Garden Waitlist Actually Clears
A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities interviews 22 households who moved off the University's community-garden waitlist onto a plot, checking their own account of how they advanced against the published Stewardship Priority Score. Neither self-reported reason nor measured wait time separates households above and below the list's median score, with directly asking the rostered convenor dominating both halves alike.
