Anti-Terrorism Law and Higher Education

StudMuffin writes: "The American Council on Education website has a succinct summary of the new anti-terrorism legislation. The issues raised are those most likely to cause problems on our campuses around the United States. Specifically, the facts that schools must now turn over student records to investigators without informing the students, allows (get this!) monitoring of persons here on student visas, turnover of electronic communications and records, obtain IP addresses and routing and addressing data, records of URL's accessed, and most unfortunately ... install Carnivore at will to track internet use on campus. There are also specific regulations about university researchers and their ability to use biological agents in quantities not 'reasonably justified.' What about all of this doesn't suck? We give up a little freedom now, and later it's impossible to get it back." PDF only -- I wish they would put up a text version as well.
