College says plan to check devices 'not finalized'

Guilin University of Electronic Technology in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region said a plan to "thoroughly check" electronic devices on students for illegal content was yet "to be finalized" after the announcement met with an online backlash. The university had issued a campuswide notice that it would inspect devices - such as cellphones, computers, external hard drives, and USB flash drives - belonging to its students and staff members, according to a recent document anonymously posted online. An official at the school's Party and administration office confirmed the authenticity of the document, while another employee in charge of approving the notice said some of its contents were still under discussion and yet "to be finalized".
