There's also the principle of proportionality.

Is this institution's campus such a dangerous / crime-ridden area that it warrants 1,300 cameras to track everyone everywhere @ all times? Hmm...

Right. 1,300 cameras for over 50,000 people in a hundred or so multi-story buildings spread over a couple of hundred acres...seems proportionate. It's maybe a dozen cameras per building on average?

I'm not a fan of surveillance per se, but acting like this is disproportionate is just silly.
