They did not ask for any sensitive information. Mostly things like how often you post, and what you like and dislike about the newsgroup.

DIdn't every NG get hit by "students" at Missouri State in just about these many words?
In 2004, there was a bunch of these from the University of Northern Iowa. I had an interesting correspondence on this topic with the professor in charge and with a dean -- the net of it was that there was some reasonable degree of institutional control in that case.
I won't hazard a guess about the research legitmacy of this University of Manchester example. I did take the survey (I do research for a living, and it's hard not to be curious). It's pretty innocuous.

Why isn't the link back to www.manchester.ac.uk? That would make it a lot more credible.
To link back to the university's web site, the poster would have needed access to add content to the the site. There are probably not a lot of universities that want to take the risk of having student-generated content under their URL. Besides, using a site that is already set up for polling frees the student and the university from buying or writing the tools that are already on the polling site. Using a preconfigured site saves a lot of time in a semester or quarter that is already short. I believe that the student is trying to learn something other than how to produce web content.
