Several universities in the US have set up systems so students can report on each other if they see anyone breaking the Covid 'rules'.

Campus Reform notes that universities in Miami, Texas, and New Orleans have all encouraged students to play campus stasi when it comes to the Covid guidelines.

Yale has also got in on the act with a hotline, along with The University of North Georgia, whose plea for students to police each other prompted the Southeastern Legal Foundation to pen a letter warning that the system may violate students' privacy and freedom of speech.

"Colleges have a duty to protect student health and safety, especially during uncertain times like these. However, even in unprecedented times, students' First Amendment rights remain unchanged. That means colleges and universities cannot engage in viewpoint or content-based discrimination, cannot enact vague and overbroad policies, and cannot chill student expression," the letter urges.
