A professor at a “private university in San Antonio” claims in this Slashdot posting that the school is using Web-screening software to block everything from The Village Voice to anything to do with .mp3 files.
While I think there’d be a riot that would burn down the city if UT tried that, do private universities have the right to block whichever content they see fit? Isn’t that detrimental to the learning process for university students, many of whom have to do much of their research online?
Just askin’.
