       Had a student email me after having missed several classes, and offered to send their medical records if I needed "proof" of them being absent. I had to assure them that I absolutely did not need to see those and that it was unreasonable that their other instructors have wanted itDear peoplr who require students to share those kinds of private information as part of an attendance policy or anything similar: stop doing cop shit

       @Aviva_Gary @bpettis Slightly different situation on this side of the pond, but I am shocked how academics willingly enforce oppressive rules. Universities are the paradigm case of #ParticipatoryAutocracy https://listed.to/@24601/45451/the-privacy-paradox-of-attendance-monitoring
