Re: The Univ network must control its costs ...

said by karlmarx:

Maybe the professor left the answer in limbo, because there was NO PROOF OF A CRIME. The ONLY people who even have a right to ask that question is the police. And the professor would be wholy within his rights to refuse to answer the question.

The original poster is a right wing nut case, everyone knows that. To him, blowing up abortion clinics is a good thing, and should be supported. He can't stand the idea that someone would actually stand up to "THE MAN", for in his worldview, the only people who question authority are terrorists and malcontents.

If the bush regime had sent people, you could be pretty sure the professor would have been sent on a 'vacation' to cuba, where he could relax in a cell with other so called 'terrorists' for mates.

The IT rep was way out of line. The use of TOR, bittorrent, or any other technology is well within the rights of ANY student or faculty at a university. Unlike the whacko worldview, I see a university as a place where people are taught how to think, not a place where they are force fed the corporate line about the evils of TOR.
I'll ignore all the crap in the 1st couple of paragraphs and deal with the only one that should really be commented on.

The IT representatives job is to maintain and protect the university's network and if TOR,bittorent or any other technology is or has the possiblity to cause problems ie. massive congestion, then Mr. IT is definitely doing his job by bringing that to the attention of the professor.

He is what the professor says.

"Their job is to protect the network that allows me to do my job: to teach classes that are mostly or entirely online, and to conduct research. If they weren't here as the first or even only line of defense against the unscrupulous elements of our technological society, my university would cease to function. It's as simple as that."

The professor is actually being very practical about the matter.
