What triggers it
The lint's definition. It is run by, or sold to, colleges or universities, community colleges included.
This covers a learning platform, a student records system or an admissions tool that a college or university runs or buys, public or private.
It implies Serves schools or universities, so the law that binds every school reaches it too, and a vendor that also sells to K-12 schools declares Serves K-12 schools as well.
What does not
A course or tutoring app sold to adult learners, with no college or university as its customer, does not count.
Often confused with Serves under-18s and Makes education decisions.
