New UNC policy allows University to record classes without instructor knowledge The policy states that instructors will not be notified in advance of class recordings in the event of β€œan investigation into alleged violations of University policy” or for β€œany other lawful purpose”...

A new policy went into effect at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill : the University can record a class without the permission or knowledge of the instructor.

"Students will self-censor if they know that their words in class can be recorded by administrators.”

β€”UNC - Chapel Hill AAUP

I love this organization and hope management can come to the table with a real willingness to reach a deal. Like all of us at ProPublica, I would much rather be focused on doing the journalism than negotiating our first contract.

"The sweeping study... found that using AI in education can 'undermine children's foundational development' and that 'the damages it has already caused are daunting.'"

They include limiting kids' cognitive, social, and emotional developmen, and increasing inequity.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:
