The Academic Surveillance Complex

"As students are repositioned as "consumers" (or "clients") – and made to pick up the cost of often-exorbitant tuition and fees – educational data mining (EDM) has become not only acceptable but positively encouraged. An increasingly ubiquitous Academic Surveillance Complex encroaches on students' intellectual freedom and grants growing power to administrators, corporations, and states, as against students and teachers."
