My last job I worked for was a university. I wrote the mobile app that they used on campus. I was pretty pleased with it as it allowed students to do all the things that they wanted access to, class list, add/drop, email, new and events. I put in a slew of analytics to track use behavior across the application. Shortly after I had released version 2 of the application my old boss went on to better things. One of the things that my new boss asked me to do was write in a way to track where students walk around using bluetooth beacons and have it report to the backend db. I said, hell no. He basically got me pushed out of my job by him being a complete dick to me after that. I moved on to another job. Recently I saw this:

Apparently we weren't the only uni planning on doing that.
