“The issue here is academic integrity,” said Jennifer Jensen, an associate dean of Harpur College. “We know many students would not violate rules during exams — but we need to ensure that all students are following exam rules and not using online materials or consulting with one another. Web proctoring is an effective and efficient way to do this during an online course.” Kate Flatley, Student Association vice president of academic affairs-elect, said the Harpur College Dean’s office informed her that Harpur College professors can opt to use ProctorU this summer, and that the service could eventually become mandatory for all online classes. She opposes the new requirement and is working to prevent its implementation.
