This article was aimed at non-technical members of Brown community, who were very surprised that Brown has any geolocating capacity like this. When they think of security and privacy, they think of the campus's guards and surveillance cameras — not the course materials portal or their email!

- Spooky23 6y agoA friend does work at a state university for an early intervention program for at risk students in their opportunity program. If you are buying snacks or sodas at 3am, don’t utilize your card keys over the weekend or do some other things, you’ll get flagged as a risk and your advisor get notified.
- xmprt 6y agoIf buying snacks at 3am is considered at risk then that's probably 90% of college students at one point or another.
- Spooky23 6y agoVery true. Some bureaucrat would have been clutching their pearls if they were following my undergrad habits for sure. I think the point is excess. They are specifically working with students with the iq to succeed, but with bad circumstances that make failure likely. Some need to be taught 9th grade math for example. My understanding is they mentor them intensely and almost 80% graduate in 5 years.
