University students face discipline action after naming sexual conquests on Facebook
Published: 2013 May 29 17:16:04 (4556 Views)
Bosses at one of Britain's best universities have warned students face being kicked off their course for naming and shaming their sexual conquests on an "offensive" Facebook page.
The raunchy posts include explicit details of their "extra-curricular" activities and links to the personal profile pages of those involved.
Students have even given their peers marks out of ten on factors such as "enthusiasm", "willingness to experiment", and "technique".
The page - called Loughborough Rate Your Shag - has attracted around 2,500 likes in just a few days.
Furious bosses at high-ranking Loughborough University, Leics., have branded many of the comments "personal" and "offensive".
And they vowed to discipline students who posted on the site, for contravening their policies on acceptable use of IT and harassment.
The institution - known for its sporting prowess - is ranked 12th in the Sunday Times 2013 university league table.
The smutty page encourages students to send their reviews to an administrator who then posts them anonymously on behalf of whistleblowers.
Ironically, Facebook started out as a page where Harvard University students were asked to rate the attractiveness of their classmates.
The description on the page says: "Loughborough, here's your opportunity to let everyone know who is good in bed, and who really isn't.
"Rate your shag from 1 to 10, and add comments and gossip (e.g ability, length, filth etc).
"Message us your comments and we'll post them anonymously.
"This page is just for a bit of fun, no offence is intended. If you feel a post is unfair then feel free to let us know and we'll take action."
Comments on the page make reference to freshers' week, the athletics club, library, and a geography course.
The National Union of Students said the comments were "not funny in the slightest", and "tantamount to bullying".
At least one concerned visitor to the site complained it was in breach of the Facebook acceptable use policy.
The page has now been taken down.
Pete Mercer, NUS Vice-President (Welfare), said: "If you imagine seeing the name of a friend, partner or family member on these sites then you quickly realise why pages like this are not funny in the slightest and tantamount to bullying.
"NUS has long taken leadership on tackling bullying behaviour and these sites demonstrate that our work on tackling 'lad culture' applies not just to men.
"'Banter' that seeks to humiliate and belittle is unacceptable and must be challenged both on and offline."
A Loughborough University spokesman said: "We have been made aware of a Facebook page that contains personal and offensive comments about people at the University.
"This is not a Loughborough University Facebook page.
"Any student who posts inappropriate comments or material to this or other such sites is contravening the University's policies on acceptable use of IT and harassment and bullying.
"As such, the University will take disciplinary action against them."
