Subject: [SECURITY] 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
