The administrator of a "confessions and compliments" page for students at St. Thomas University in New Brunswick is deleting the account after the school received an anonymous complaint about harassing comments and hired lawyers to weigh legal options.

The page, "UNBF and STU Confessions and Compliments," is an anonymous message board, whereby students can submit comments or questions to the page`s administrator, who then posts them on the user`s behalf.

Students using their own Facebook accounts can then comment on those posts.

The page administrator announced late Wednesday night that he has decided to delete the page in the wake of the anonymous complaint to school officials.

"I've decide to take down the page," the administrator wrote. "My intention for this page was positive activity. Sorry, if the content offended others. To everyone from STU and UNBF you guys are both great schools and great educators."

Earlier Wednesday, university officials said they were consulting with lawyers after receiving the complaint.

School officials are concerned that students, who are being named in posts, are being sexually harassed on the site by anonymous commenters.

"There are comments on the site that would clearly violate our sexual harassment policy, and would clearly violate our student code of conduct," Jeffrey Carleton, STU's director of communications, told CTV Atlantic.

He added that the comments made online and not on campus, "makes no difference."

The school wants legal advice about how online harassment laws have changed in the wake of several high-profile cyber-bullying cases, Carleton said.

Students say they are happy that the school is looking into the page, particularly if names are mentioned.

"You have an online forum where people can post anonymously, especially about people they probably know in a really small campus community," student Tiffany Brown told CTV. "It's really easy for people to not think of all the consequences of what they say."
