Universities Creating Computer Discipline Offices

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the thank-you-sir-may-i-have-another dept.

geisler writes "The Chronicle of Higher Education has a very good article on how larger colleges are beginning to create departments to deal with the social issues related to computer problems and not depending solely on technical solutions. The University of Maryland's Project NEThics is used as a prime example."

    who follow my work know that I'm all about freedom and acquiring knowledge regardless of merit. I feel it is our inherent duty to fight against the corportization of the internet.

    However, even I am glad at this development. For too long, anti-social computer users have been using their meager skills to act in a condescending fashion to the more legitimate disciplines such as sociology, art history and communications.

    Hopefully these departments will put some much-needed brakes on wild proliferation of dangerous computer science tricks employed by vandals.
