>> Stable Cox is a professor of human sexuality.

Seriously?

Maybe not so stable.

Here, then, is my theory as to why most professors who object to their class lectures being recorded do so:

They fear having what they say exposed to the general public.


Rats flee when exposed to daylight.

No one ever records my lectures although they're perfectly welcome to.

I suppose listening to my lame jokes once is enough.

“Stabile” Cox? ? ?

Is this a joke, or where her parents determined to add a little humor to the world for decades?

or, why pay money to go to college if all the lectures are available for free on the web?

Why buy a book when there is a Kindle edition on the web for free?

With all the devices in student hands that can record sound, banning recording is a losing battle for the leftists. We just more students willing to stand up to them. Maybe a legal defense fund it what it needed.

Sorry for the spelling error, but I was typing while enjoying my morning coffee and breakfast.

"Stable Cox is a professor of human sexuality."

Oh, yes. And the progenitor of Fudd's Law: If you push something hard enough it will fall over.

You are paying for the diploma, without which you will not be hired by any company for certain jobs.

If your goal is to be a Starbucks barista, save the money and listen to the recordings.

Back in the 70s many of my college students recorded my lectures. My lecture lab table often had several recorders on it. Students shared the tapes in their study groups. One day I prerecorded a lecture. Walked in the classroom and the students got up and placed and turned on their recorders and I placed my recorder on the table and turned it on play to play my recorded lecture. We all then went over the student center and got something to eat. I later video my lectures and placed them in the library for students to review. Times have changed.

Because most students are far more interested in the degree than the knowledge.

You can check a book out of the library to gain knowledge.

Even thirty years ago when I was in school at a rather conservative university, the human sexuality class was nothing more than the university peddling porn.

If it’s a public University then too bad, right?

IMO, every classroom in a tax-funded institution should be equipped with two cameras, one in the rear of the room focused on the teacher's area, and one in the front of the room focused on the class area. Both should be networked and access available over the interned, either to the general public, or by password to parents of students, and education supervisors.

This would quickly cut down on this sort of liberal crap, AND improve student discipline.

The American Association of University Professors has long opposed unauthorized recording and public posting of what professors say in classrooms.

For a group of people so quick to take to the streets in protest against the establishment, I suggest that these students disregard the legal threats and continue to record and post their professor's comments in the name of civil disobedience.

If it's good enough for the goose, it's good enough for the gander.

“........their primary aim has become graduating as many leftists as possible.”..........

“Legalized brainwashing” has been their objective for a very, very, very, very, very, very long time. With rules like this article describes, they are well on their way to achieving that objective. Anyone now question why the NEA and their ilk need to be dissolved?

When I was in graduate school (after the dinosaurs ceased roaming the earth but before smart phones) the table in front of the lecturer was covered in a mass of recorders.
