Why is the groupchat needed for the students?

This group chat was our way of communication. Yes, there are other ways to communicate, but WhatsApp was the most efficient, accessible way to reach all students. It was for our benefit as the students in the group chat would remind the others about what assignments were due, what tests were coming up and what classes we had next.

So please give this petition serious consideration as taking away this group chat will affect our way of communication and the effectiveness and speed with we can be in contact period.
