“The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill recently rolled out a new policy that permits university officials to record classes without notifying the instructor. It’s a practice administrators have used in the past to investigate professors but have now formalized in writing.”
UNC Admin Can Now, Officially, Secretly Record Faculty
The new policy prohibits students from recording class without permission but explicitly allows administrators to surveil professors for any “lawful purpose.”

it remains wild to me that the (very good) bargaining demand that the lowest FTE faculty should make at least 10% of what the chancellor makes (it would be $79k) is pie in the sky for a university in a city where houses cost $995k on average now. we don't even have cola like other state employees
