It is a service to the community to point out ridiculous things like this <i>before</i> some well meaning, newly appointed person feels obliged to implement the madness.

I threatened to send every one of my (numerous) web pages <br />and every change to mgt.<br />I was told not to engage in "subversive compliance" and left alone. LBNL did require us to sign (put our name on) and date every web page we posted.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16430447499138092975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10781944.post-2553877944802621812012-09-10T08:30:04.728-07:002012-09-10T08:30:04.728-07:00That's a policy that could only have been writ...That's a policy that could only have been written by a bureaucrat who never heard of academic freedom ... or at least never understood it.<br /><br />Larry Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05756598746605455848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10781944.post-23246454978230418662012-09-10T01:40:15.648-07:002012-09-10T01:40:15.648-07:00I am not so pessimistic. 1) Though I have issues ...I am not so pessimistic. 1) Though I have issues with bureaucracy, I like many of the people now in the higher admin at UC Davis. 2) As a back up however, I wish them all the luck in the world if they choose to come after people for posting to social media ...

We violate all sorts of policies like this all the time, but if something juicy were to ever come out, they have all the legal protection necessary to strike back.<br /><br />So basically don't do anything interesting and you should be fine ;-)<br /><br />Actually, I'm starting to assume that about all areas of the law these days -- if 'they' want to screw you, they'll find a legal way to do so.
