Yes, we filter the student resnet connection and public kiosk machines. We've been filtering for 10 years or so. 
Requests for access to a site are handled in one of two ways. Students are welcome to visit any of our labs, which are 
monitored but unfiltered, or they may request an exception.  Exception requests go to the Student Life office for 
review.

I also have various malware blocks in place. DNS blocks are redirected to a web page explaining the reason for the 
block and people are directed to the Helpdesk to request an exception. Those requests are sent to me for approval.
