I was pleasantly surprised to find this particular video. You are correct in posing such a powerful question. Unfortunately, I think we have a divergence here of policy and practice that is dangerous if you are an administrator and useful if you are a faculty member. Not that the two are mutually exclusive but AD-20 is being interpreted differently at each campus. "Fear" is the theme of the day at our campus when using web based community sites. This breaks my heart. But then I can understand to a degree why this is happening when we see one after another law suit in the millions occurring with organizations who violated this trust. No one wants to get caught in violation of identity policies but at the same token, you can't tell them not to use these tools. It is like saying stay inside this summer because you might get skin cancer. Put on lotion, take steps to protect yourself and move on. Personal responsibility. This needs to be fostered in the classroom, the campus, the boardroom, the home. We are not doing this.
