I was member of a student union at my university, for people interested in computers.

We had desktop computers and servers that belonged to the student union, and member students would eventually be granted sudo privileges if they had a reason to need it.

When they gave me and my friends sudo privileges they told us basically the sudo lecture. Use it for good, don’t snoop in other students files, and be careful to not break stuff. They even had a real-life story of their own, about one past member that was kicked out of the union because he had used his sudo privileges to read solutions to an assignment from the home directory of another member!

This wasn’t even that long ago. Around 2010.

It was a nice student union.
