Case Style:
Daniel Lee v. Illinois Institute of Technology
Case Number: 21-cv-02512
Judge: Andrea R. Wood
Court: United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (Cook County)
Plaintiff's Attorney:
Defendant's Attorney: Raina C Borrelli and Brian Kevin Murphy
Description: Chicago, Illinois civil rights lawyers represented Plaintiff, who sued Defendant claiming violation of the First Amendment.
Plaintiff Daniel Fee is a former student at Defendant Illinois Institute of Technology (“IIT”). Like many IIT students, Fee took some exams online using a remote proctoring tool that employed facial-recognition technology to verify the student's identity. Fee, however, alleges that IIT failed to comply with the requirements set out in Illinois's Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”), 740 ILCS 14/1 et seq., before collecting his biometric identifiers. Accordingly, he has brought the present action on behalf of himself and a putative class of similarly situated IIT students alleging violations of BIPA. Now before the Court is IIT's motion to dismiss Fee's First Amended Complaint (“FAC”) pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6).
Outcome: Denied
