Actually it isn't.  If you want to use a house analogy it would be more
like seeing if someone is inside using their home.

I believe Will just wants to know if any institution monitors login/logout
in order to see if people are laving early or something along those lines.
 I'm not sure what else it would tell you.

To my knowledge we don't do it at MU other than if we had an investigation
of some kind and had to build a timeline.

Hello All,****

** **

I'm wondering if any of your institutions monitor logon/logoff time for
attendance/holiday/sick leave violations. I'm not looking for a technical
answer, just whether or not your schools do this. ****

I'm trying to bring some support documents to the table so we can make an
educated decision on if it's something we want to pursue. My feeling is
that this is VERY unusual for HigherED, but links to policies or an email
(with a yes/no) would be much appreciated.****

** **

If you like I can compile my responses (anonymously) and repost to the
list if there's any interest.****

Thanks,****

Will

P.S. It was great meeting some of you at the STL conference. Hopefully I
can make the trip for the next one.****
