[partial quote follows]

"Americans are experimenting with methods similar to China’s social credit 
system. By tracking student movements and regulating faculty to standards of 
political correctness, they risk socializing young people to the methods of 
high-tech authoritarian state control.
Syracuse University, the University of North Carolina and others are installing 
wi-fi apps and Bluetooth devices to monitor class attendance and visits to 
libraries, recreation centers, dining halls and potentially every other campus 
location. These create profiles that faculty and administrators can use to 
reward good learning habits, flag mental health issues, and impel students to 
modify personal habits to norms of model student behavior."
