[nagdu] Request for Participation -- Smith-Kettlewell Wayfinding Survey

[Jewel S.]

I don't see how it is hurting anyone. I took the survey, and it looks
like they are really interested in the ways people travel, and are
genuinely interested in real people's problems and successes. I don't
see what's wrong with them posting this; students are often the best
source of information about a minority group.
