Inside Higher Ed: Homeland Security Montiored Students
As part of continuing litigation by the American Civil Liberties Union involving Pentagon surveillance of campuses across the nation, the organization’s northern California chapter has obtained new information that highlights a previously unknown role by the Department of Homeland Security.
Evidence of surveillance by the Pentagon was first uncovered in December when NBC News ran a report on a 400-page database, which characterized “threats” stemming from military protests and demonstrations at institutions of higher education nationwide as either “credible or “not credible.” New York University, the State University of New York at Albany, Southern Connecticut State University, the City College of City University of New York, the University of California at Santa Cruz, “a NJ Area University,” the University of California at Berkeley, and the University of Wisconsin at Madison were all listed in the database.
