Outcome
U.S. District Court Judge J. Philip Calabrese ruled in August 2022 that the room scanning was unconstitutional: 'Mr. Ogletree's privacy interest in his home outweighs Cleveland State's interests in scanning his room.' First major legal ruling on remote proctoring constitutionality. Cleveland State appealed. The ruling, while narrow in geographical scope, raised concerns about room-scan practices used by ProctorU and similar services.
