Get the Flock out
Get Flock cameras off of campus: Please sign an open letter to the Stanford administration, urging them to cancel a deal with Flock surveillance cameras on campus.
For context, read this ACLU summary of Flock, the database of your information these cameras build, and how the use of this system has expanded beyond its original purpose.
OMB Updates
Thank you for commenting on the proposed changes to the way the federal government awards and administers grants, impacting science.
Check back here for updates soon.
Protect students’ privacy
Attacks on privacy: Thank you to everyone who urged Stanford to reject the DOJ request for medical school admissions data.
We still do not know if the university complied, compromised, or resisted the overly broad request for data. Because of your efforts, the Stanford leadership knows we all are paying attention. This issue has helped us find each other to continue supporting Stanford in protecting academic freedom and the safety of its community.
This is part of a broader federal attack on science and higher education. Stanford was just one of several institutions hit with requests for overly broad medical school admissions data, risking applicants’ privacy.
