I don't think you read my post carefully enough. I was not complaining about enforcement of the rules. I said that in my experience (at my university and at any other university I've visited), such rules don't exist in the first place. That is, I was politely trying to tell you that, perhaps, you don't know what you are talking about.
But why would a university admin play nanny by censoring access to the internet? The university I'm at doesn't do any filtering and I also travel to other universities often and I've never seen anything like that. Why would this hypothetical admin you are talking about purposefully make research (the primary reason for the network) difficult?
