Preparing Students for the Coming Utopia
So today I had to update my passwords and re-sign all of my security agreements to retain access to the ODU computer system, access to which is required for most classes.
It included a training course.
The first bit is just normal IT security stuff and of no interest at all. However, the last part is mildly amusing for two reasons.
1: Privacy and Security don't mean what they think it does.
2: Remember, all students are required to know and comply with ODU's IT Security Related Standards with penalties for non-compliance being up-to and including expulsion.
Anyway, the last part is below the fold.
ODU is concerned about the privacy of the people that use our network and websites.
Information is collected and used as needed for operational and technical support purposes.
Information we may collect
Routing information - Domain and Internet address of your PC.
Essential Technical Information - ID of the page or service you are requesting, type of browser, operating system, and the time and date of access.

Optional Information - Your name, email address and the content of your email may be collected on outgoing e-mail.
