Newcastle University students protest biometric scanner move
http://j.mp/UQDseO (The Northern Echo)
"Dr. Kyle Grayson, a senior lecturer in international politics at the
university, warned that finger scanning risked ruining the
university's reputation overseas. "I have had international students
say that they don't pay thousands of pounds a year to be treated like
they are on probation. "The majority of students, especially at a
university like Newcastle, are genuine. They are creating this whole
surveillance operation to deal with something which isn't a big
problem."
