Remote Proctoring deemed illegal as violation of 4th amendment rights?

[MNomadic]

On the one hand, I don't like this. It has the potential to eliminate almost all remote testing, which would suck for everyone here.

On the other hand...

The decision whether to require students to show their rooms before a test is left to the discretion of individual professors and is not enforced by all instructors, Ogletree said in the lawsuit. Room scans are visible to other students who are taking a test, Ogletree's lawsuit said.

Visible to other students? What? Why?

That's what I found peculiar. It may be that they were having everyone together on a shared zoom call vs using a 3rd party Proctoring service. Definitely something to follow since if lawsuits started preventing remote Proctoring, academic integrity could suffer drastically, devaluing degrees. Or, as you mentioned, some remote programs could be eliminated altogether or require testing centers(which would be super inconvenient for a lot of people).
