The LLRC is now asking to ban MySpace on the 30 research computers available to students instead of the campus-wide ban previously proposed.
Controversy surrounds the MySpace ban, as it is a question of infringement on free speech. At least one division, Humanities, voted against the campus-wide ban.
Now that the proposal has been changed to pertain only to the 30 research computers, many divisions will have to reconvene and discuss the pros and cons of the ban.
“I would support the practice and I think that the faculty would like to make sure that the research computers are being used appropriately,” said Claudia Stanger, member of the Humanities division.
The faculty senate meets on March 30 to vote on the ban.
