Frat cams give NC State intimate view of bros
Article here. Excerpt:
'At the start of the 2016 academic year, North Carolina State University installed surveillance cameras inside select fraternity and sorority houses.
The cameras were ostensibly there to monitor entrances for security purposes, but Campus Reform has learned through multiple sources that they were set up in a manner conducive to monitoring student behavior in their personal living spaces.
...
While both cameras are pointed towards nearby doorways, it was discovered after installation that the cameras were zoomed out to a degree that allowed for the observation of students in their living space, which university officials acknowledged in an email exchange obtained by Campus Reform.
...
When pressed on whether or not cameras are installed in the common areas of all fraternities and sororities, Hartman simply reiterated the school’s prior defense, saying “security cameras are installed at entrances and exits, pointed at entrances and exits,” and cited the school’s policy on closed-circuit cameras.
After nearly a month of delay, and just one day after Campus Reform first reached out to the school for comment on the matter, the source reported that university officials finally adjusted the zoom of the cameras on Wednesday.'
