They can't even legally ask for your age, and they would ask for PASSWORDS? WTF?

That's a good point - aside from EVERYTHING ABOUT IT, it's potentially an end run around things they're not permitted to ask about: family status, age, religion.

It does seem like an easy screen of a company I don't want to work for -- things with passwords are on purpose, because my personal life is separate from my job.

They've got a suspect in a standoff in the shootings at the school in France, and the shootings of the soldiers last week. He claims to be affiliated with Al Qaeda. [link]

I know I always seem to pop in hear with word choice questions, but...

I am making 2 lists of courses for our website-- it is a page displaying the courses alphabetically (we have other pages which advertise each course, but this is just for people who want to see everything). We have broadly, 2 types of courses, College Credit Courses and what I would call "Continuing Education" Courses. These are short non-credit courses. The problem is, I am not supposed to call them Non-Credit, because that is negative, and also some do have "nursing contact hours" and saying non credit makes nurses think that they don't. But, I also can't call them "Continuing Education" courses because in nursing, that means something very specific, and the course has to be accredited by the to grant contact hours, and not all of them are. I would split that section into to lists, but right now, there are only 4 courses, 2 in one category and 2 in another.

Help!

What should I call the list!

although, in the article, when they asked for the password, they had already met the candidate and perhaps knew age, race, gender. Other issues they would have access to though.

Further, by giving up your FB password, you are also exposing your family and friends to potential privacy violations.

Sophia,

here they would be called "Not for Credit for Degree" or NCFD

le nubian-- Thank you! That is perfect!

My uni is always stressing password security, including never giving out your password to anyone, ever. They did a direct mail campaign to our homes, there are posters, etc. I assumed most business also wanted people to keep their passwords secure. Asking for a Facebook password seems weird in that context.

‘The Richer Sex’: How Women Became the New Breadwinners

While marrying up used to be the thought the best means of social advancement for women, we now know that if there’s one silver bullet for gender inequality, it’s education. We’re only just beginning to see what higher college-graduation rates for women may mean. And it’s not just that more women are graduating, but that in the United States—and more surprisingly in countries like Saudi Arabia and Mongolia—female university students now outnumber male students. Part of the reason women have overtaken men, Mundy writes, is because boys and their families are still working on the outdated principle that a young man can enter the trades and make a decent, reliable income. But that’s often not the case anymore.

Also, men are weird.

One of the most fascinating phenomena driving gender changes in the workforce, Munday says, is that of male flight, the tendency that men have to lose interest in or abandon a profession as more women enter it. Researchers have said that men show an aversion to what’s been termed gender “pollution.” As women begin entering a field, the most cited example being veterinary medicine, younger men begin to show less interest in that area of expertise. Older, established male veterinarians don’t leave the field, it’s just that the rising classes of veterinarians turn overwhelmingly female. Some researchers have predicted that this example can be used to predict what we’ll see even in traditionally male professions like law. “The women pour in,” Mundy observes, “and the men drain out.”

someone on the Atlantic thread regarding employers requesting FB passwords have this to say:

If one can be intimidated to give their Facebook password, how easy would it be to shake them down for passwords they might use for confidential systems at work?

I think this is an interesting point.

Couple this with the article (was it posted here last month) where teenagers and college students are showing faith in the relationship by exchanging email and FB passwords.
