Incident 1581 Report
Remote Proctoring Facial-Detection Software Reportedly Failed to Detect Black Student During Lab Quiz

2021-02-01

In February 2021, a Black college student, Amaya Ross, reportedly tried to take a remote biology lab quiz using proctoring software that could not detect her face. Ross said she spent 45 minutes changing lights, shades, position, and background before pointing an LED flashlight at her face so the app would work; the quiz itself was only 30 minutes.
