This is a request from the internal auditor to see if it is common practice to monitor this in academia (starting to look heavily like NO). As others on the list have mentioned, this is really a management issue at it's core. The rebuttal for that comment was something like: "If technology can help us to identify a management weakness, we can make corrective policy driven actions to fix the weakness. IT isn't there to fix the problem, but to provide visibility into whether or not there is a problem to correct." So excluding the potential privacy concerns (which wouldn't really apply in the corporate world), in their mind it's just using IT as a tool for efficiency. Not defending, just relaying.
