    008 * Interface for filter students based on academic area classifications, majors,
    009 * or minors. This interface can be used by {@link StudentSectioningXMLLoader}
    010 * to load only subset of all students, and it is used by {@link Test} to
    011 * combine last-like and real students from two XML files.
