FOIA ref.33/1401 (Social media monitoring) About

Request 

Dear foi team,

I am writing to you under the freedom of information Act 2000 to request the following information.

• Does the university monitor student social media for adverse comments? If so, whose responsibility is this and approximately how
much time do they spend monitoring accounts?
• How much money does the university spend approximately each year monitoring students' social media output? Please can you, if possible,
categorise the spending by staff salary or hiring of outside consultants/ computer programs used.
• Does the university deploy any software to help them monitor students' social media output?
• Does the university maintain lists of students who have made what the university considers inappropriate or inflammatory social media
points?
•  Does the university have a social media policy for students to follow? If so, please provide it.
•  Have any students in the last three academic years been sanctions for social media posts (2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19)? If possible can
you categorise what types of inappropriate posts they were eg racists/inciting violence/ sexually explicit etc.

I would be grateful if you could confirm receipt of response.

Thanks,

Response
