British Dons Don't Like Students Monitoring Class Times
Britain's faculty union is accusing the student union at Manchester Metropolitan University of encouraging students to "snoop" on professors, The Times Higher reported. The student union, responding to complaints about classes starting late or being canceled without notice, has been trying to document the problem. So it asked students to send text messages whenever this happens to them. But a spokesman for the University and College Union told the publication: ""The relationship between lecturer and student is key to higher education, and schemes that encourage either to spy on the other, however well intentioned, undermine that bond."
