It looks like this was deliberately removed a couple of years ago in the following pull request, with a comment that year_of_birth is to be ātreated as privileged information as of TNL-10683, not to go in reportsā:
Iām not clear on the motivation, as the referenced JIRA ticket (TNL-10683) is internal to 2U. Iām guessing it might have to do with regulatory complianceā¦?
@bszabo, @Raymond_Zhou: Could you folks please provide additional context for this?
