Protect student privacy: ban eproctoring

Idk cheating in the college I was in (Top #30 US Institution) was punished severely. I fondly remember my Data Structures professor, bluntly telling us she'd end our academic careers if we were caught cheating. Fondly because she was a great professor who clearly had no time or patience for that kind of bs. It was school policy for expulsion, and this is a very well known school.

This of course may have changed dramatically in the last two years given the major shift in how we all live but I would suspect that this is more common than you think.

How many people do you know of who failed a class or were expelled for that kind of thing?

Where there ever any rumors of that kind of thing. In a large enough class someone will be tempted to cheat, and if the school is taking decisive action there will be rumors even if they are making great effort to protect the students privacy and make the discipline a learning experience

Rumors yes, there were rumors of people getting caught cheating, but I didn't know anyone personally.

The people I knew on a personal basis weren't the kind to do that or really care about it enough to do so and without going into a story about the people I know and how we're all doing well in life you'll have to take my word for it.
