University Tracking Justified?

Mizzou and other universities are using an app by Spotter "track" student attendance in class.  Is it reasonable to track if a student is in class or not?

Making things simple to know what is happening without the overhead to management has great appeal.  Particularly if you have students on scholarship or academic probation, understandable. Maybe even justified.
