None here at the moment but we are actively exploring the idea due to recent wave of phishing attacks and outbound spam 
from our network.

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
