The law school I will be attending is requesting 2 photo's "for my file". Any idea what the purpose of this is???

They're going to scan your picture and transfer the data to the NSA and Homeland Security so that face-scanners at places like airports can identify and track your movement.rcharles wrote:Hmmm maybe, but why two?Rawlsian wrote:Perhaps for seating charts and ID cards.
Photos for the Glass Menagerie
Each year the Law School puts together a student/faculty face book (a.k.a., The Glass Menagerie). The Menagerie includes a picture of each student in the Law School, information about home towns, schools attended, and degrees received. This information is obtained from your Student Profile form. The Menagerie is given to all students at orientation and is provided to faculty, to employers interviewing at the Law School, to prospective students, and to alumni. Please send a recent digital high-resolution photo of yourself. The photo should only feature you in the image. As you know, we have already been collecting these photos. If you haven't already sent in your photo please be sure that we receive it no later than Friday, July 2, 2010. Please send your digital image to glassmenagerie@law.uchicago.edu.
Are the aforementioned mentioned person? If not, then why does this matter?etown989 wrote:I wonder during the application process this upcoming fall what is to stop someone from saying you are a URM? Other than the obvious last name giveaways. Do they look into this? Say I had a father who died while my mother was pregnant and he was a URM, but my last name is white sounding. How would they confirm URM status?
