>> Stable Cox is a professor of human sexuality.
Seriously?
Maybe not so stable.
Here, then, is my theory as to why most professors who object to their class lectures being recorded do so:
They fear having what they say exposed to the general public.
Rats flee when exposed to daylight.
I suppose listening to my lame jokes once is enough.
“Stabile” Cox? ? ?
Is this a joke, or where her parents determined to add a little humor to the world for decades?
They forget the reality of the smartphones.
Back in the 70s many of my college students recorded my lectures. My lecture lab table often had several recorders on it. Students shared the tapes in their study groups. One day I prerecorded a lecture. Walked in the classroom and the students got up and placed and turned on their recorders and I placed my recorder on the table and turned it on play to play my recorded lecture. We all then went over the student center and got something to eat. I later video my lectures and placed them in the library for students to review. Times have changed.
If it’s a public University then too bad, right?
This would quickly cut down on this sort of liberal crap, AND improve student discipline.
For a group of people so quick to take to the streets in protest against the establishment, I suggest that these students disregard the legal threats and continue to record and post their professor's comments in the name of civil disobedience.
If it's good enough for the goose, it's good enough for the gander.

They can object all they want. I’m going to record them for the purpose of study. No recording? No pay for course.
Ok, so I will date myself with this response, but when I went to college one of the items you brought was your cassette recorder to tape lectures.
When did we stop allowing students to do that?
They object to recording for the same reason that they cover their face when they riot. They don’t want to be identified for what they really are.
Point one: recording lectures used to be commonplace and now the professors don’t want their true words heard outside the classroom? Ridiculous! How is competence established?
Point two: GET RID OF TENURE! That was pushed through just so this sort of thing wouldn’t matter in the light of day.
Simple way to fix this problem. If a college wants federal money (including student loans) they have to allow unrestricted recordings of classroom lectures.
I doubt we get there, but if we’re going to lend what is now 1.2 Trillion dollars to these Snowflakes to go to college, we should start applying our own strings, for once.
I teach 90% of my classes online; everything I say, in text or by voice, is recorded. There are times when I wince at something I wrote or said earlier, wishing I had presented it differently, but I stand for what I stand for, which is the veracity and relevance of the course material, and I would be OK with anyone reading or hearing it. A professor who doesn't want to be recorded in what is supposed to be the ultimate rendition of the public square, the college campus, doesn't deserve to be a professor.
In the 1980s and 1990s, recording lectures was a common form of studying, because taking notes can cause one to miss some of the lecture, and I found that reviewing my notes WHILE listening to the lecture later on made for far better retention of information, especially when the course covered highly detailed information.
At least 1/2 of the students in my classes would record the lectures.
But given what the “instructors” are spewing these days, I can understand why they wouldn’t want it to get out.

Hillary and the DNC has some emails released that are embarrassing (to say the least). The defense is to ignore the content of the emails and attack the fact and method whereby they were released (hacking).
This ding bat has her rant publicized and the defense is to ignore the content and inappropriateness of her rant, and attack the poor schmuck who recorded and made it public.
Students should just get permission up front to record the lectures. The professor could not deny permission to record because students with auditory impairments, auditory processing disorders, ADHD, autism, etc. would need an audio recording as a “reasonable accommodation” under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The professor is “performing” in a publicly owned facility for the benefit of the public, albeit a select group—students.
The instructor needs to get off her high horse.
