The next time you fall asleep or make a comment in a big lecture course, be warned: You may not be just another face in the crowd to your professor.

Starting next semester, Yale professors will be able to access identification photographs of students enrolled in their courses. The student identification photos used in online and print facebooks will be made  available to Yale faculty in the fall of 2001 in customized databases available only to professors.
