Is it acceptable for school admission office to ask for Facebook password ?

I would then send a letter to someone in the college who is higher than the person asking, such as the Dean of the college or president of the university and specifically ask such person to confirm or deny whether the college has a policy of asking for such information and if so why it is not so stated in their admission requirements, and also identify the person who asked for it (it is highly likely the college has no such policy).

<p>I would address that to the Dean of Admissions. </p>

<p>If I were going to do that, I mean. I doubt I ever would do it, because I believe that requests from colleges for Facebook passwords are kind of like alligators in the sewers and spider eggs in bubble gum–urban legends. I see headlines to that effect when I Google, but I never find examples of colleges that actually do that when I read the articles. I do find that some colleges require athletes to be friends with a coach or AD on Facebook. I think that crosses a line, too, but not nearly as far as requiring a password from applicants does. Heck, Facebook’s terms of service actually say that users are not supposed to give their login information to other parties!</p>
