Maybe the reasoning was this...?

They have two brains so they're two students learning.

They have one body so it's just one working

That’s pretty much it. They’re legally two people and can get certified for things independently. They both have a driver’s license for example. However, as teachers they can only teach one class at a time. It’s all just the nature of their problem. Though I will say it seems like the college probably could have worked with them a little bit given their unique situation.

Like a massive discount for living with a crazy rare and potentially debilitating condition???

I mean, it feels extremely stingy not to. Granted, there’s lots of students that could use a break on tuition and they can’t do everyone, but surely some college somewhere should be willing to hire them part time as disability ambassadors or something for tuition offset. Then again perhaps they’d rather do their own thing.
