As I recall, they thought it was funny when they hacked Sarah Palin´s email. Weird how they squeal when the tables are turned.

Dr. Lewis called the administration’s handling of the search “dishonorable,” and

I wonder if he thinks leaking information to the press is equally dishonerable?

Just Leftists doing what Leftists do.

Pay a hundred grand a year for an education and then cheat yourself out of it.

But then, it never really was about the learning....was it ?

It´s about the ticket.

This is a Democrat Factory for sure.

Didn´t Barky pretend to work there at some point ?

By gosh, #1 has it!!!!

Material that exists on company computers belongs to the company. I would assume the same is true at the university. Why would these so called "smart people" not get that?

The Leftists ENJOY the ILLEGAL ransacking of Conservative´s e-mail whilst decrying the LEGAL search of their employer´s e-mail system.

Boo-Freaking-Hoo.

I mean really now, what did you guys expect from a fascist progressive administration like Harvard?

Most employers tell the employees that they should not assume that emails are private.

If you don´t think every one of your emails is being read - you are not thinking at all.

They post emails on University equipment on University time and with a lot of tax payer money. Why would they expect it to be private?

Fishing with a net catches all the fish...get over it!

I wasn´t sure big sis went to hah vard.. Schadenfreude makes me smile sometimes....

What were they really worried about? Someone leaking info on obama?

Note to faculty: You are employees. You have no right to privacy att the workplace (except maybe the bathroom), nor on workplace computers. That ivory tower isn´t any more special than any other workplace!

Sacre bleu! Don´t they know it´s okay to cheat at Harvard.

Work emails are not private. If your employer is sued, your entire mailbox--received, sent, archived, drafts--may have to be turned over.

What´s next? Harvard going to stop giving interest free loans to its Native American faculty members who teach one law school class?

Their employer reads their emails. They are shocked.

Why are these idiots allowed to teach?

Google + BHOnhead X Obamacare = no privacy

The nudgers will justify any action as well meaning and a search for some hyphenated justice. They mean well, they are brilliant and they do not need to adhere to law...just ask Lenin, Mao, Fidel, Benito, Saddam, Hugo..left or right; communists, fascists, Bloombergians and national socialists are totalitarians.

They are the chefs and you are just an egg needed for their magnificent omelet

So far as I know, employers are allowed to read e-mail on job accounts. However, the bigger story is that there was a cheating scandal among the oh-so-upper crust and intellectually divine Harvard students. I have no problem whatsoever with someone leaking that item to the press. Harvard needs to be taken down a few notches from its hoity-toity loft above us common folk. What a bunch of phonies.

If they found that any of these so called smart people did the crime they shoud be fired for being stupid. Come on people, even the WH knows to use email accounts like hotmail for illegal activities.

Funny that yesterday my daughter (a teacher) talked about this very subject...that is the computer system in their school district.

They are scanned constantly looking for personal messages or unauthorized activity such as posting on sites such as facebook. They can tell which computer in their whole system the date/time they entered the internet, posted on any site, or personal emails to individuals. Whatever they do it better be related to their school and their job --- or else.

Now and then I would send my daughter articles of interest that related to schools in general. After our talk we decided for me to stop sending them to her at school and send them to her personal addy that she reads at home.

If the school needs a reason to fire you they can use your "unauthorized" emails against you. She said they fired a teacher two years ago for several violations but one was technical. Although she used her own ipad to post on Facebook, but the fact that she did it during school hours was a violation of "school work hours". If she had done it out of school it would not have been a problem.

Wasn´t it just a few years ago there was a big bruhaha about the personal emails of people on company computers? I think some thought they had a right to privacy. Seems the Company felt it was their computers, their system, so there was no right to privacy. So some folks were fired. If they wanted privacy they could use their own computers on their own accounts on their own off duty time.

#23 - You are so very correct in all of your assessments. As an IT Manager, I created the Guidelines and rules for computer use in a few companies. It basically said that while at work and on the company´s computer, they had NO RIGHTS to anything that THEY considered "private".

Also, my firewall tracked EVERY place that any computer went on the Internet. I was asked to compile that data a couple of times when the Management was suspicious of certain employee´s "activities".

Bottom line in the 21st century - at work, at stores, and at certain places in public, YOU ARE BEING WATCHED and tracked. Deal with it because it is NOT going away.

aint KARMA a.......
