The Student Bill of Rights

Some of these, like the privacy stuff, seem reasonable. It makes sense that student's personal communications shouldn't be monitored. It makes sense that institutions shouldn't accidentally disclose, say, Social Security numbers.

Some are less sensible, like the technology decree. From a teaching standpoint, for example, learning how to invert a matrix by hand is tedious and annoying and something you'll never do in the field but is still useful in learning linear algebra.

Some are outright bad, like the fair assessment section. I shouldn't be able to have a narrative exam in an engineering class instead of showing my facility with the reference tests and calculations.

There's some good ideas in there, but it strikes me overall as sophomoric, self-centered, and childish--basically exactly what we expect from students.
