MSU is introducing biometric hand readers as an optional replacement for student ID cards for things like dining service.Clarinda Marcoff, interim manager of the Cat Card Office, said the new hand scan program is voluntary, but every new student who has gone through orientation so far this summer wanted to participate. She thought some students or parents might object, but no one did. I'm actually a bit surprised that no one objected (or even opted out). At the same time, this is a cool use of technology and it does make people's lives easier.
But there are still some interesting privacy questions here, including ones that are raised specifically because MSU is a state institution.
