The UK's Newcastle University is instituting a finger-print based attendance system. From the linked article: "University
students may have to scan their fingerprints in future — to prove they
are not bunking off lectures. ... Newcastle Free Education Network has
organised protests against the plans, claiming the scanners would 'turn
universities into border checkpoints' and 'reduce university to the
attendance of lectures alone.'"
The system is supposed to bring the university "in line with the UK Border Agency (UKBA) and clamp down on illegal immigrants."
P.S.
My dog Billy and chicken Suzie are good friends. Here they both are waiting patiently to be let in my front door. Life is good.
