Archived source documents

Every reference document for “We are not short of talented students. We are short of seats.” is hosted here under a stable filename, because state URLs move. Files in this directory are never renamed and never overwritten; when an agency issues a new version, it is added under a new dated filename. For each document the original URL is recorded as a courtesy (it is allowed to rot), along with the date we retrieved the file and, where available, an independent Wayback Machine copy.
