Backlash against campus surveillance as sensors invade buildings

Students and professors at various universities, including Queen Mary University of London, Northeastern University, and the University of Leiden, are protesting against the installation of sensors in buildings. These sensors, often referred to as cameras, are being used to monitor building occupancy and optimize space utilization. However, critics argue that the sensors invade privacy and raise concerns about the use and security of the collected data. Some universities have faced backlash and abandoned their plans due to privacy and data protection concerns. The issue of surveillance in university campuses raises questions about control over technology and its potential disciplinary use.
