I also think it has raised a serious issue with however decides on what pctures are acceptable to be published with an article. Knowing the sensistivity of the matter of private data they still printed the exact data that has caused so much upset And although vision have further blurred the names so it is now unreadable they should still take it down, as has been requested by the people involved. Their names may no longer be visible but the rest of their information is still there. Although candidate numbers should be private the fact is they are not as secure as they should be. I would like to ask the people who approved the printing of the picture how they would feel if their department, year, modules, candidate number, disabilites and recent results were printed on the front page. Names or not it is still upsetting, especially when it is matter that was long ago put to rest.

“brown noser”

And witty banter aside, what fantastic moderation there is here, allowing personal insults to stand for almost 24 hours. Congrats on that, Vision, another ‘triumph’ for freedom of the press!

And, as has been repeated ad nauseum, full credit to Vision for messing up the blur in the paper.

At the end of the day a mistake was made; someone has to be at fault despite however popular they may be. <em>Comment edited by a moderator</em> 1st year,
