EDUCATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE & TECHNOCRATIC SOLUTIONS
At AAUP-AFT union meetings 2019–2020, union members were eager for more information on questions of EdTech and health tech equity, privacy, surveillance, and data collection and uses given their observations of what were perceived as rights violations, and lack of university transparency. Concerns grew in the pandemic and given our expertise, my co-authors and I embarked on initial fact-finding about contracts, vendor relationships, and privacy rights. We initially conceptualized this work with an assumed outcome of pragmatic institutional policy shifts.
