So apparently the university is requiring new IDs. This will mark the third or fourth generation of ID that I've had to get from the university, but whatever. I've been there too long.
This latest one is being introduced with certain language that makes me a little nervous; specifically: The new card, which has security features designed to protect your privacy, will provide the same functions and services as your current card. Try as I might, I haven't been able to find any further explanation on this. Anyone know whether that's a euphamism for "we want to invade your privacy by putting more personal data on your student ID", or is it something else? Interestingly enough, we supposedly now all have "U ID" numbers. Note the space between the 'U' and the 'ID'. But I immediately thought "uid", and wondered if that was intentional... :) -- Brian C.
