Thanks for reporting this. My understanding was that the web advisory committee voted to discontinue support for IE since it represented such a small percentage of users on campus. (Especially since I'm pretty sure Edge can be installed on older versions of Windows now) Is there still a banner telling them to switch to a newer browser, or did that get taken down?

Switching browsers isn't an option in this case, as their software is using the embedded internet explorer component which is what is choking on a script error.

@kebowdog the banner was taken off in v2. But like you said, IE support was discontinued. I've added the wontfix label and am closing the issue.
