However, LaSusa clarified, "To this point, that has not disrupted service to students." "It's just altered some of the materials that they're using to serve students and limited some of the choices that they otherwise might have." LaSusa continued. LaSusa said that at this stage, Chartwells hasn't experienced a "significant interruption so far."
