Setting aside the intrusiveness, I cannot remotely remember even the attempt to monitor attendance at lectures. Is that even a thing?
Horrifying article. I'm stunned faculty are embracing this. "One company that uses school WiFi networks to monitor movements says it gathers 6,000 location data points per student every day"https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/12/24/colleges-are-turning-students-phones-into-surveillance-machines-tracking-locations-hundreds-thousands/ …

Not when I went to college (tho in my case, Pomona is so small in most classes it was obvious if you were absent). The article does note *parent* interest in attendance checks, or at least liking that schools are tracking their kids even if mom & dad can't see the data

Also, my kid’s prof told the class to opt out when they asked him about it.

Old tech and wifi is only one of many signals & data sources fused to track location and monitor behavior; eg Google has tracked billions of store visits to boost their ad revenue for many years. Typical smart phone has at least 6 location sensors.https://marketingland.com/googles-surojit-chatterjee-heres-why-you-should-trust-adwords-estimated-store-visits-126491 …

We are? Since when did anyone ask faculty.

My own hot take: I would bet (a) the overwhelming majority of campuses aren't doing this at all and (b) the overwhelming majority of staff and faculty don't know it's happening even on the campuses where it's happening.
