Online Colleges Could Spy On Students – By Law

Posted by timothy on from the pay-for-your-papers-please dept.

skeazer writes "Tucked away in a 1,200-page bill now in Congress is a small paragraph that could lead distance-education institutions to require spy cameras in their students' homes. It sounds Orwellian, but the paragraph — part of legislation renewing the Higher Education Act — is all but assured of becoming law by the fall. No one in Congress objects to it."

    Almost 30% of the Indian economy is manufacturing, BTW.

    Nope, presuming you are the same racist asshole with the "Apu" comment, I can only say that if I wanted to talk to dicks I'd hang out in a mens' locker room.

    You're just upset that I have you pegged.
