Students Plead for Facebook Privacy
Students at the University of Dayton don't want to look over their shoulders when they post on Facebook, so they're taking steps to protect their digital turf. Student-government officials have drafted a resolution asking administrators not to penalize students based solely on material gathered from the social-networking site.
Several colleges -- including, most recently, Princeton University -- have adopted policies that prohibit campus police officers from browsing Facebook but let them use the site to seek evidence about specific student infractions. But Wade Luckett, a student senator who helped draft the resolution, says students at Dayton needed to take "a proactive stance" to ensure that campus officials thought seriously about their stance on Facebook.
