I do not like frats and I wish collectively people who are attracted to them would change their mentality so that frats would go out of style and just fade away (I am not for banning things)
but the behavior of this university is wrong! perhaps cameras should be set up in the homes of the schools president, dean, etc…( I can only imagine what happens in the privacy of their homes, and it needs to be monitored)

I work at a grad school, and we have to push back constantly against the desire of top administration/public safety to monitor our spaces. We have set very strict limits on what we feel is acceptable, but others want us to give into their demands for what we feel is intrusive monitoring of our students and staff. It’s a huge battle on college campuses today.
“safety” is often the guise for other activity.
I mean who can be against being “safe”?
Well if you’re not doing anything wrong . . . (detest this argument btw).
southfloirdamom …exactly for that reason all the administrators should have there homes interior monitored 24/7 and all students and faculty should be able to watch. I am sure they have nothing to hide and they thought this was somehow ok to do to others!
you see they are watching the adult students but it is the faculty and staff you need to watch.

I don’t have a link, but a professor at a college near my home was arrested a few months ago for something similar to the bathroom photo deal but I think he was taking pics of females. He committed suicide shortly thereafter.
Well … to go with the “if you’re not doing anything wrong” theory, how many people want a 24-hour surveillance camera inside their house? Reductio ad absurdum? Perhaps.
^^agree
I can’t even watch the show “Big Brother” because the 24 hour cameras are too creepy.
The article mentions ‘cameras have been installed in “any house owned by the university, and some of the houses that are privately owned."’ Are these fraternities on or off-campus? How was this monitoring even allowed?
I am totally in favor of cameras installed in public spaces, on streets, shopping centers, in college classrooms and outdoor spaces. In a college dorm lounge? I am not so sure. In building off-campus? What about apartment building with some NC State students? Should university police have access to those cameras?
You painting all Greek organizations with a very broad brush that is not justified. Please educate yourself.
If this is one of the campuses with school-owned fraternity houses, then I think it’s fair to do whatever security monitoring they do within the dorms.
