I finished undergrad last year. Email was a primary means of communication, a key part of all academic, extracurricular, and administrative tasks, and every was expected to (and did) check email multiple times a day. Once, the college cancelled classes due to weather and the tweet about it went out ~20 min before the email and many students got angry. People don't get push notifications from the public twitter account which mostly posts weird "engagement" content. Kids get email pushed to their phone. If they say they didn't get the email or "the attachment must not have gone through" they are probably lying.
To be fair, I went to a small and very professionally oriented college, not a large university. But this article seemed totally made up to me.
