Hello
Does anyone have a policy on opening usbs that have been left in machines to find out who they belong to? We generally id who they belong to and label them and send the student a message saying where the stick is. However, we have had a student complain that we had opened his, and looked at his documents. I suppose there is a privacy issue, but the alternative is to either let students open them to see if the stick is theirs (if it's not then they have looked at someone else's documents anyway, and they could say the stick is theirs even if it's not) or to destroy them. In every single other case, the students have been overwhelmed with gratitude that we had their stick and they hadn't lost their work!
Regards
Joanne
