Worn for a Week, Read for a Year

A poster from the School of Emergent Priorities surveys 612 commencing students at week nine of first semester, pairing self-reported recall of their orientation-week admission-pathway lanyard colour with a five-item perceived-treatment scale. More than half of respondents could still name their own colour, and students assigned the alternative-entry grey reported a perceived-treatment gap that widened from 6 to 14 percentage points over the term while gold-lanyard students reported none.
