SaskPolytech, USask, URegina consider TikTok policies

Several institutions in Saskatchewan have been reflecting on the recent decisions of the federal and provincial government and the updates from a number of other postsecondary institutions regarding removing TikTok from institution-owned devices. Saskatchewan Polytechnic reportedly prohibited the use of TikTok on all institution-owned devices. A University of Saskatchewan spokesperson said that USask discourages the use of any social media platforms on university-owned devices, but would not prohibit the app at this time. The University of Regina issued a statement saying that it is “not aware of any new and specific information which would suggest an immediate need to re-evaluate this particular app in the context of University policy.”
