Exactly my thoughts. Not sure where this is, but here in London, I can't do
anything without being recorded. Shops, public transport, street CCTV, phone
calls to my bank, restaurants, etc.... They're all recorded.
I'm not one for intolerance, but sometimes the minority has to bend to the
majority for practical reasons. This seems to be one of those situations.
Religious grounds tend not to have the legal power of most other laws. e.g.
Some religions demand the use of controlled substances/endangered animals in
ceremony, or polygamy, or sex discrimination, but this has never been judged
as grounds for allowing these practices in the UK, as they are against other
laws.
Not a lawyer though.

I don't know the legalities, but a lecturer challenged this recently as
we have an extremely "religious" student who believes that to record his
voice, just as to photograph his image, takes away part of his soul.
Solutions please????

Hello Val
We had a situation similar to this at UWIC. It was agreed that we could
not force the students to be recorded because it infringes on their
civil liberties to do so. We also had to progress with the groupwork
assignment, because it was felt that to cancel it would infringe on
academic standards.
We then offered the student a notetaker, which was accepted in the short
term, but the student felt that this was compromising their
independence. The final solution was therefore to select individuals who
were happy to be recorded and make up a working group that way.
I know that it is not the perfect solution, but it did work in this
case.
Hope that helps?

We have recently assessed a student who needs, and is her chosen method,
to record group work. However, the students in the group have refused to
let her do this, although the lecturer is happy for her to do so. Does
anyone know what the legalities and solutions are to support the
student?
