BREAKING: Following PublicSource reporting, CMU drops its draft policy that would have allowed the use of facial recognition technology on campus.
Dear Reader,
A July 6 story by PublicSource higher education reporter Emma Folts shed light on a policy under consideration by Carnegie Mellon University that would have allowed campus police to use controversial facial recognition software. Ten days later, CMU released a statement saying that due to community feedback, the policy allowing the software was no longer under consideration.
