Student disciplined for creating MSU class search tool, Spartan Scheduler (statenews.com)

MSU information science junior Lucas Campbell was disciplined for creating “Spartan Scheduler,” a public class-search site that let users access schedule details without an MSU NetID and pulled private data through web-scraping. The university said the tool violated campus safety and acceptable-use policies after MSU stopped publicly sharing class times, locations, and instructors. Campbell took down the site quickly after receiving a warning of possible suspension, and ultimately received a deferred suspension and other sanctions while continuing his studies.
