Dear campuses using COVID-19 as an excuse to install cameras in classrooms, STOP.
* Cameras in classrooms are a security and privacy risk
* Surveillance is a mechanism of policing not pedagogy
* Fly on the wall cameras do not provide “access” for students who can’t be on campus

The inability to be on campus in the Fall (or Spring) should not require special accommodation. The students who won’t be able to learn in person are the students who were already marginalized by our educational systems. We need to build for those students first.

Some specific recommendation in my thread here: https://twitter.com/jessifer/status/1263579427088162816?s=21">https://twitter.com/jessifer/... https://twitter.com/jessifer/status/1263579427088162816">https://twitter.com/jessifer/...

And, if your campus is considering a new Zoom contract, perhaps think about how those same funds might be redirected toward faculty development. https://twitter.com/jessifer/status/1268160975724781570?s=21">https://twitter.com/jessifer/... https://twitter.com/jessifer/status/1268160975724781570">https://twitter.com/jessifer/...
