• #99 College Online Testing and the 4th Amendment
    Feb 3 2023

    According to a recent article in Bloomberglaw.com "Virtual Exam Case Primes Privacy Fight Over College Room Scans" by Skye Witley, a 2022 decision by a district court in Ohio found that electronic room scans mandated by Cleveland State University for students taking virtual tests had violated an individual's 4th Amendment protections regarding reasonable searches. Today's episode examines that local ruling, and the upcoming review of that ruling by the 6th Circuit US Court of Appeals in Ohio. Learn why virtual room scans are being disputed, and how that ruling could affect you or your child with a disability.
