I don't even see how this could scale to a whole University's worth of students. The current population of U of Oregon is 23,600. If you have say, 10 administrators dedicated to monitoring social media, that means each have to sift through ~2000 students posts each and every day. Yes, some students don't have any social media, but a lot of them are on multiple social networks.

They aren't going to do fair enforcement - like all code of conducts, they are only going to mine your accounts for ammunition if you show up on their radar. It's for selective enforcement. If you don't sign their petition/join their party/support their protests, then they will look at your social media posts. This is why CoC are written; I've yet to find an example of an in-group person being subjected to the code of CoC. The targets are always people with different politics.

It doesn't need to scale. Surveillance methods have a habit of only being exercised on people the controlling party deems "undesirable" or "disruptive". Selective prosecution is a hallmark of oppression.
