Internet filtering on college campuses

It's a Catholic school, where the students are supposedly Catholics, and where pornography and gambling are forbidden anyway.
I don't see a problem with enforcing college rules.
If it were a state-run school, or of no specified denomination, it would be a different matter.

On Topic: Being a catholic school it is okay. But as said before if it was a state school then it is an entirely different matter. I know at my school (high school) all adult content is banned; even image searching is banned. I think we can all guess why :hide:
 
A few state/non religious schools have systems that are supposed to discourage the use of programs like Limewire on the university network, but I don't know any that attempt to block content website. I know several religious schools that do (another reason I didn't want to go to BYU).

Like others have said, its fine if its a religious school, or a private school with some weird mission...but blocking internet webpages for a state school would seem problematic to me.

But then again, who lives on campus after their 2nd year?
 
My college had one. For some reason it went down from 2002-2003 so everyone had a field year! When it went back on, the anonymous proxy that everyone was using had been banned too.
