Some of these things listed are personal. Please sign this petition if you have the same concerns/ similar concerns on using THIRD PARTY sites such as PROCTORU for monitoring our exams.

I have the right to my privacy. We did not give up that right at anytime to our education institution. YOU MUST allow students to not enable their cameras and not be penalized.

We do not feel safe showing my residence to an unknown person or persons, or even my professors. How are you guaranteeing my safety and the safety of others around me? They have access to seeing me, and hearing me that access is not reciprocated. That is a major safety concern This is not my house, this is my parents house they are not allowing me to do this in any other room or show my room to random people. This is different then social media. I post what I want people to see, and etc. I have seen forms saying that they will make me take down specific things in my room, I am sorry but I will not allow that. That is my room. I will not allow them to see any part of my room. I do not know them. I am not comfortable with this. I have been STALKED before. I hope you are well versed in the history of people who have been stalked. My room is my safe zone so is my house. How can I go to a library? If there are books and people all around me? We have our own customs and tradition that I follow regarding or just rules over showing our rooms and homes. I sometimes don’t even allow some friends in my room. OR when my friends FaceTime me I have my phone in a specific place so they don’t see my surroundings. These proctor sites are a third party program. I don’t trust them! If cheating is a concern alter the curriculums/tests. During online classes, we do not require a webcam, and the exams are taken without a webcam and etc. we don’t even allow webcams then! You are not just stopping the privacy of the student but now the family as a whole. Some students share a room with their siblings. Or family members. Will they have to leave their own room too? Some students have an unstable family/ home. Turning on Audio or webcam may not be a choice for them. Some are even homeless to some extent. Some students do not have a stable family, or a quite place to go. We have a major international student body. How will they do these exams? The times are completely different, so is internet access. some of these students don’t own a computer or a webcam. And rely on their schools to do hw. Libraries don’t have enough computers to support the amount of people who don’t have one. some students can’t even afford a $20 webcam You must trust the students you accepted in your institution as they need as much support in these unknown times.
