Ok this happened during the LSAT, concerns the LSAC, so I'm posting wherever it may find favor.

And also I've never had this happen to a student and it's just so freaking creepy.

The facts below are all I will say right now. For the sake of my student's privacy.

She is obviously going to report this behavior, but nothing else has been decided. Because it's just bonkers.

I just want to know if this has happened to others, and what transpired after it was reported to the LSAC.

After the test, one of my LSAT students received a message from her proctor on LinkedIn. Yes, the video proctor watching from afar. Who proctored the writing portion.

It was just a "how was your test?" BUT HOLY JESUS. WHAT THE HELL??? IT'S SOOOO WRONG AND SOOO CREEPY.

Even the act of sending a simple message storms across so many prescribed and implicit boundaries of common sense, professionalism, policy, and decency!! To write down a name, Google the name, find the LinkedIn page, compose a message, hit send??? He had so many opportunities NOT to do this. It's just...such a violation. It's the sort of generic doofy ignorant behavior that can make a person feel unsafe.

Has anyone else experienced this? Should I cross post somewhere? Like I said, I won't provide more detail. I just need to know: has it happened to others, and what happened after?

But right now what I'm feeling: HOLY FORKING SHIRTBALLS!!!

PS: and gentlemen, may I remind you: LINKEDIN IS NOT A DATING / HOOKUP APP. Take your dumbass back to FarmersOnly. Or maybe one of those MAGA dating sites?? What's it called? LinkedInCel?? UnHinged? Bumblefuk? Ok Q-Anon? Grindr?

EDIT: details at bottom of post.

EDIT: it has been pointed out that I should have said "proctor" instead of "mod" in the title. Totally correct!! Even though I use proctor throughout the rest of the post, someone's first engagement might make them think I am referring to a moderator from the the Reddit LSAT forum instead of the LSAC's eye in the sky that spies on you during the test. Since the post has engagement I'm gonna leave as is. But yes technically it's wrong. Substantively I don't think it makes much difference. But yah. My goof. I could been been clearer. But "Creepy LSAT Proctor" strikes my ear the wrong way. Language is sound!!
