If someone is stupid enough to post something on facebook then they deserve to get caught.

Hey, by the way, everyone should be aware that since NU email accounts are given out BY the university, the administration can also monitor campus email accounts as well as Facebook.

Someone flipped out when I mentioned that to them earlier this week, and they work in corporate management where monitoring goes on all the time. “A university doesn’t do that like in the private sector…”

Um. Yes, it does go on. Just a word of warning lest people think that campus email is safe from snooping. It’s required that everyone use campus email for school related stuff (contacting profs, reading news alerts, etc.), but if there’s anything at all you wouldn’t want someone to read that is personal at all…swap personal email account info with friends, cuz I’m quite certain it’s legal and common that administrators can snoop in your northwester.edu email accounts as well as your Facebook pages.

Best bet….don’t anything illegal, eh?;-)

Careful, folks. Maybe it’s some neo-Nazi nut, because of the Middle East conflict going on, or something.

Sounds rrrrrreal suspicious that everyone happens to be Jewish.

Don’t be too paranoid, but can’t be too careful.

Wow… This is an extremely interesting story. Even though I’m a student at NYU, I’ll definitely watch out now for scammers… Thanks for writing this!
