Quick Survey - Does everyone do SOME form of "web filtering"??

Hi Folks.....



Our Board decided about 3 years ago to require "web filtering" here.  The concern related to "academic freedom" are 
mitigated through a simple request process.  If a faculty member or student finds that an instructionally legitimate 
website is being blocked - all they have to do is submit a request to have the website passed through the web filter 
and they are in business.



My question:  Does everyone do some sort of web filtering?  If you *do* filter your web access - how long have you done 
so?  And do you have a "bypass" process?



Thanks,



Michael
