Universities To Spy On Muslim Students

[LuxuryItem]

This kind of surveillance will further isolate and radicalize the people.

Lecturers and university staff across Britain are to be asked to spy on “Asian-looking” and Muslim students they suspect of involvement in Islamic extremism and supporting terrorist violence, the Guardian has learned.They will be told to inform on students to special branch because the government believes campuses have become “fertile recruiting grounds” for extremists.
The Department for Education has drawn up a series of proposals which are to be sent to universities and other centres of higher education before the end of the year. The 18-page document acknowledges that universities will be anxious about passing information to special branch, for fear it amounts to “collaborating with the ‘secret police’”. It says there will be “concerns about police targeting certain sections of the student population (eg Muslims)”.
The proposals are likely to cause anxiety among academics, and provoke anger from British Muslim groups at a time when ministers are at the focus of rows over issues such as the wearing of the veil and forcing Islamic schools to accept pupils from other faiths.

As long as it doesn't intrude into your daily life it's OK.

As long as you have nothing to do with terrorism it should be OK too.

I do hope they put the same sort of emphasis on goons of national front types as well.

No issue with profs spying, I mean anyone with some suspicion should be able to report to authorities, be it a prof, a janitor, or a bum.

Now, what is suspicious may vary from person to person, and I do hope that they keep tabs on what people are reporting as suspicious. if some prof has an issue with people with a different political view tha his own and keeps reporting them, then his reports have to be taken with a grain of salt.

Right. How do you distinguish a heated disucssion with a someone's 'actionable' slant?

Also, last year there was a brouhaha about political (zionist, neo-con) groups keeping tabs on liberal professors (also some muslim professors made the list because of their cricitism of Israel). Where does this scrutiny/surveillance end? Majority in power are deciding what's right for academic discourse, what to think and what to say? It's funny how liberal west can't stop shouting about 'freedom of speech' and deridiing commy china and north korea.

LI I agree with you. My point is that if there are not very specific boundaries set this just becomes a witch hunt or ppl grinding personal axes

With suspension of habeus corpus, do you think 'specific boundaries' will help the innocent?
