That doesn’t follow at all. It’s a simple matter of logistics, and administrators getting off their butts. There’s a crapton of places that exams can be sat at. All that’s required is making use of them.
I suspect that ProctologyU’s service is more expensive than meatspace proctors, too. In my experience, sitting exams in a hall with … I don’t know? 200 other students, doing a dozen or more seperate subjects, requires the diligent attendence of about 10 proctors, or in a smaller classroom with maybe 40 students there’s 3 or 4 proctors. That’s one for each 10-20 students. There’s also no additional cost to students, which is good given how high course costs are already.
ProctologyU, on the other hand, require a proctor for every 3-6 students (FTFA), making the tech solution only a third as efficient, and the students have to stump up $20 a throw for the “privilege”. I wonder if that’s the point? By doing it this way the Universitys can offload the cost of a service - which the students have already paid for - back onto the students, by making it a “course requirement.” Which equals more coin for the university.
