Since the Yeshiva words heeds RMF's position that one who advocates the
Rambam's opinion today regarding support from Torah study is falling prey
to his Yetzer Hara, and support for learners in Kollel is available,
metzuyonim are enjoined to learn all day. Toraso Keva Umelachto Arai is the
other permitted option for them, but since there is a means of support
without it, and we hold like RMF, there is no reason they should follow
that path. Kevias Ittim LaTorah and making do with supporting  those who
study Torah is muttar for people who are not capable of mastering Torah.
See Shulchan Aruch Harav 3:2-4, and Igros Moshe YD IV 36.
