How do you mean it violates privacy? When a user logs in, it's already
logged at least locally that they've done so, and when. As soon as they
hit one of a few sites on campus, their username is logged in ONA as the
last user of that device. There's probably other logs as well, those are
just the ones that spring immediately to mind.

I obviously agree that it's a good thing to think about privacy, and
encourage it, I'm just not sure how Emerge is special in this regard.  :-)
