Case
study 1
Inappropriate
use of Social media
Following
the soccer game, the team was in the locker room gathering their belongings.
Julie decided to take a quick shower since she was heading to a friend’s house
to study for an exam she had the following day. Annie, the team captain,
thought it would be funny to use her camera phone to take a photo of Julie in
the shower. She quietly entered the shower area, and took a quick photo of
Julie. Annie runs back to the team bellowing with laughter.
Case study: 2
An internal investigation at UCD does not uphold the student
newspaper’s allegation of inappropriate conduct on a Facebook group chat.
Last
week, the university newspaper College Tribune stated that “a private Facebook
group chat with as many as 200 members is active among male students in UCD, in
which members share and rate stories and pictures of girls they have slept
with…The alleged group is understood to be made up of predominantly
Agricultural Science students”.
The UCD
investigation has found the claims to be unsubstantiated.
On
publication of the article on 2 February, the university instigated an
investigation. This was to investigate the circumstances and veracity of
the report published in the College Tribune; to identify any students
victimized by inappropriate social media; to identify the existence of the
named site or other similar sites and to identify any students involved in
posting inappropriate images; to determine any illegal activity and to
determine whether there had been breaches of the student code.
Following
the investigation, the specific allegations made in the article were not
upheld.
The
chair of the investigation, Professor Mark Rogers, Deputy President and
Registrar,
The
chair of the investigation, Professor Mark Rogers, Deputy President and
Registrar, said: “Although this investigation is concluded, I am not so naive
as to believe that the university community is immune to this type of activity.
“I have
reminded all students that if any of them has been affected by the
inappropriate sharing of private information on social media, the student
advisers and wider university support services are available to them.
In
addition, Mr. Rogers asked that any student or member of the university
community who sees illicit and/or explicit material on university-related sites
should immediately bring this to the attention of the university authorities
and/or the Gardaí.
