Privacy

Universities monitoring networks for improper activity is a breach of privacy rights, violating the First and Fourth Amendments. Surveillance creates a chilling effect on academic discourse and goes against Duke University's mission of promoting free and open inquiry. Surveillance techniques presume guilt, leading to further infringements on privacy. Resources like Audible Magic ICARUS help maintain privacy online.
