The Friday, April 25 edition of Varsity reports that Oxford University Proctors are fining students using photographic evidence on facebook:
"Following complaints of antisocial
behaviour amongst students from University staff and members of the public, proctors made
the decision to browse students’ profiles in order to identify those who have breached University
rules. Emails which cite links to incriminating photos on Facebook are then sent to students to impose fines ranging from £80 to £500.
[...]
Whilst the University states that “the fines collected each year go towards a good cause within the University”, the Student Union claims that the amount collected in the last year rose by 465% to £11,065."
