Students care about their data privacy, and this concern is increasing.
A 2016 EDUCAUSE Center for Analysis and Research (ECAR) survey found that one-third of undergraduate students were concerned that technology advances may increasingly invade [their] privacy. A Gallup poll in 2015 found that 44 percent of Millennials believe their personal information is kept private some of the time and that 26 percent believe their personal information is kept private little or none of the time. In 2016, the Gallup poll showed that 44 percent of Millennials trusted companies to keep their personal information private all or most of the time but that 33 percent trusted companies to keep their personal information private little or none of the time, a 7 percentage point increase from 2015. These surveys reflect students growing awareness and distrust of entities possessing their data. In 2018, Gallup found that 39 percent of respondents ages 18 to 49 were very concerned about

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has denounced student protesters as “terrorists” and vowed to crackdown on demonstrations opposing the appointment of a government loyalist to head Istanbul’s most prestigious university.
Students and faculty members of Bogazici University have spent weeks protesting Erdogan’s Jan. 1 appointment of Melih Bulu, an academic who once ran for parliament as a candidate for Erdogan’s party. They have called for Bulu to resign as the university’s rector and for the university to be allowed to elect its own president, saying the appointment was an affront to academic liberties.
