Carleton University in Ottawa got in touch with me about comments I made on its subreddit last year.
That did not sit right with me.
- elliekelly 5y agoWhoa. Can you elaborate? Is your reddit username identifying or had you posted any identifying information (like a photo) from your account? I guess what I’m getting at is how much legwork did they have to do to track you down?
- jagger27 5y agoSame username as here. I criticized their Covid-19 response right at the beginning. I have a rather unique first name so I suppose that’s how they tracked me down.
- duxup 5y agoCan you elaborate without giving away too much? What did they ask about?
- jagger27 5y agoIt was really surreal. They called me on my personal cellphone and accused me of not giving Carleton quote "a fair shake" with my criticism. I was venting on the subreddit, like many others. The teaching staff was not prepared for a sudden shift to online learning more than half way through the term. This was in late March 2020.
- duxup 5y agoThat's really weird. Was this an individual or some sort of organized thing?
- jagger27 5y agoI believe a file was built up on me by the “Student Conduct” department and an individual from there reached out. I agree it was extremely odd.
- koheripbal 5y agoDid they threaten any consequences to you?
- jagger27 5y agoNo.
- ne0flex 5y agoI'm a Carleton grad myself. Really interested in hearing what happened, if you can disclose.
