You should contact the department assigned to maintain your school's anonymous forums. Not only do they need to take action by removing the offending posts and disciplining that user, but action must be taken to ensure a situation like this cannot occur again.

It's inane that any higher-learning institution would maintain an anonymous internet forum that allows such behavior from any of their students. 4chan, maybe, but a university? I wouldn't have thought so.

I actually inquired about this yesterday, and apparently the website is actually legally owned and operated by the students. So the university supposedly doesn't have any legal control over it, and in fact is not even aware that it exists (only viewable by registered students). Here's what it says on the site:

This site is ours. Ours as in the Society of Medical Radiation. Terribly selfish sounding, we know, but until the revolution comes, that out-of-date means of professing active stewardship will have to do. Opinions and so on are either those of the Society or those of the authors. (See us legally squirm!) People this site does not belong to:

Anyone connected to [censored] University's Medical Radiation Programme Administration. They're nice people and all, but their site is here (link) and has less by way of cool colours and more by way of official-sounding academic descriptions and the like.
