Title
Do Not Let CUNY Violate Student Privacy Change.org Petition
Description
This Change.org petition – supported by multiple student organizations at on CUNY's Brooklyn, John Jay, Baruch, Queens, BMCC, Hunter, York, and CSI College campuses – called for the City University of New York (CUNY) system to disavow intrusive and unethical software services, such as Proctorio, which had been endorsed CUNY administration to curb the alleged increase in academic dishonesty among CUNY's student population following the instructional shift to distance learning.
This item is part of the City University of New York (CUNY) Distance Learning Archive, a group project developed as part of Prof. Matthew K. Gold's Spring 2020 Knowledge Infrastructures seminar in the Ph.D. Program in English at The Graduate Center, CUNY, in partnership with the Interactive Technology and Pedagogy Certificate Program. The project's goal was to resist or trouble the discourse of catastrophe around the shift to online learning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic by documenting the lived experiences of students, faculty, and staff across CUNY's 25 campuses. Further, the project wanted to document the moment of crisis response by taking a critical approach to educational technology.
