Students at CUNY will be required to submit to invasive home, biometric, and personal device surveillance under the institution’s pending deals with remote proctoring providers. Student governments at multiple campuses are organizing to halt the agreement.

CUNY的学生将根据该机构与远程代理提供者的待定交易，接受侵入性家庭，生物特征识别和个人设备监视。 多个校区的学生政府正在组织中止该协议。

Students at the City University of New York (CUNY), a public institution that serves many low income and BIPOC students, are organizing to stop what they say is an “atrocious” privacy violation. The students have collected over 27,000 signatures via a change.org petition that calls on their chancellor to halt controversial deals with Proctortrack and Respondus, as well as current use of Proctorio, the preferred partner of university-affiliated McGraw Hill Publishing.

纽约城市大学(CUNY)的学生是一所公共机构，为许多低收入学生和BIPOC学生提供服务，他们正在组织制止他们所说的“残酷”隐私侵犯行为。 这些学生通过change.org请愿书收集了超过27,000个签名，呼吁他们停止与Proctortrack和Respondus的有争议交易，以及Proctorio的当前使用，Proctorio是大学附属的McGraw Hill Publishing的首选合作伙伴。

These softwares require that students grant an unwarranted and rights-violating level of access to their personal devices, homes, and biometric information. The spyware-like options under consideration could require students to submit to facial recognition; alter privacy-related settings on a student’s computer; monitor eye movements via webcam and save those recordings in a database; require the student film their entire room multiple times during a test; manage all apps, extensions, and themes on a student’s personal computer; read and change the data on a student’s web browser; and more.

这些软件要求学生授予对他们的个人设备，房屋和生物特征信息的未经授权且违反权利的访问级别。 正在考虑的类似间谍软件的选项可能要求学生接受面部识别； 更改学生计算机上与隐私相关的设置； 通过网络摄像头监控眼睛的运动并将这些记录保存在数据库中； 在测试中要求学生多次拍摄整个房间的影片； 在学生的个人计算机上管理所有应用，扩展程序和主题； 在学生的网络浏览器上读取和更改数据； 和更多。

The state of New York voted in July to pause for two years any implementation of facial recognition technology in schools, but the legislation has not yet been signed and does not apply to institutions of higher education.

纽约州在7月份投票决定在学校中将面部识别技术的任何实施暂停两年，但是该立法尚未签署，并且不适用于高等教育机构。

“It’s a violation of privacy at its highest level,” said Eliel Mizrahi (he/him), a student at CUNY Brooklyn college. “I feel extremely uncomfortable with the fact that the school has complete access to my home and computer. What happened to basic human rights and values?”

纽约市立大学布鲁克林分校的学生埃里尔·米兹拉希(Eliel Mizrahi)(他/他)说： “这是对隐私的最高侵犯。” “对于学校可以完全访问我的房屋和计算机的事实，我感到非常不舒服。 基本人权和价值观发生了什么？”

“Student privacy and safety has always been a primary concern of the University Student Senate as we transitioned to distance learning, and our students deserve better,” said Timothy Hunter, CUNY University Student Senate chairperson. “We are calling on all the CUNY campuses to pledge that they will ensure the privacy of our students. Students have gone through so much this year alone, let’s not make this any harder on them by attempting to enforce unfair policies that will disproportionately harm our students who do not have access to the necessary resources.”

纽约市立大学学生参议院主席蒂莫西·亨特(Timothy Hunter)表示： “在我们过渡到远程学习时，学生隐私和安全一直是大学生参议院最关心的问题，我们的学生应该得到更好的照顾。” “我们呼吁纽约市立大学的所有校园保证将确保学生的隐私。 学生仅今年一年就经历了如此多的苦难，不要试图通过实施不公平的政策来加重他们的负担，这些政策将严重损害那些无法获得必要资源的学生。”

“We must do everything we can to prevent this generation of young people from entering a world where an Orwellian level of surveillance is normalized,” said Lia Holland (she/her), an activist with digital rights group Fight for the Future. “Privacy is a human right under the UN Declaration of Human Rights, and students should never have to give up their privacy in order to receive an education. The education-industrial complex absolutely does not need this level of access to student’s personal lives and devices, but because more data on students is in the best interest of their shareholders, they’re requiring it anyway.”

数字版权组织“为未来而奋斗”的活动家莉亚·霍兰德(Lia Holland)说： “我们必须尽一切努力，防止这一代年轻人进入一个正常的奥威尔式监视水平的世界。” “根据联合国人权宣言，隐私是一项人权，学生永远不必为了接受教育而放弃自己的隐私。 教育与工业综合体绝对不需要这种级别的访问权限来访问学生的个人生活和设备，但是由于有更多关于学生的数据符合其股东的最大利益，因此无论如何他们都需要它。

“I don’t think this is about student integrity and caution. Professors barely know how to use the technology in front of them at the moment,” said Jessica Rosario, who attends CUNY’s JohnJay College. “There are so many ways in which students’ voices have been disregarded (responses from financial aid, professors, departments, support services, opportunity programs). Why is there agency and urgency around this? Why do they want to use MONEY FROM STUDENTS to fund this program? I don’t support it because it’s a clear violation of privacy to control the devices of students. The technology will be used to monitor us, not our work.”

“我不认为这与学生的诚信和谨慎有关。 目前，教授们几乎不知道如何在他们面前使用这项技术。”纽约市立大学约翰·杰伊学院的杰西卡·罗萨里奥(Jessica Rosario)说。 “有很多方法可以忽略学生的声音(来自财务援助，教授，系，支持服务，机会计划的回应)。 为什么在这方面存在代理和紧迫性？ 他们为什么要使用“学生的钱”来资助该计划？ 我不支持它，因为控制学生的设备明显侵犯了隐私。 该技术将用于监视我们，而不是我们的工作。”

CUNY officials have not acknowledged or addressed the concerns of students. They have also not replied to Fight for the Future’s request for comment. Student organizers are available for comment at info@bcstudentgov.org.

CUNY官员没有承认或解决学生的担忧。 他们也没有回复“为未来而战”的置评请求。 可以通过info@bcstudentgov.org来评论学生组织者。
