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 “treated as privileged information as of TNL-10683, not to go in reports”:
I’m not clear on the motivation, as the referenced JIRA ticket (TNL-10683) is internal to 2U. I’m guessing it might have to do with regulatory compliance…?
@bszabo, @Raymond_Zhou: Could you folks please provide additional context for this?
