University of Miami Reportedly Used Facial Recognition to Discipline Student Protesters
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The University of Miami used a network of surveillance cameras and
facial recognition software to track down students involved in a protest
last month against the university's decision to resume in-person classes
during the pandemic. That's according to the Miami New Times, which
reports that after being identified in surveillance footage, the
students received emails ordering them to report to university
administrators for questioning.
