Former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden has been installed as the official representative of students at the University of Glasgow.
Snowden told the ceremony by video link that, in the office, he would follow the idea "that if we believe in something we should stand up for it."
He said "in a democracy, people have a right to know the policies of their government."
Snowden leaked documents disclosing details of U.S. spies' surveillance of the Internet and telephone communications. He has been granted asylum in Russia.
He was elected rector the students' representative to university management out of a field of four candidates in February.
Snowden is unlikely to visit Glasgow, however. Britain has an extradition treaty with the U.S., where he is wanted on criminal charges.

Revelations about U.S. secret surveillance programs have left Chinas Huawei Technologies exhausted on the public relations front, a top company executive said Wednesday.
It hasnt had much affect on our companys growth, but its definitely increased our work load, said Huaweis acting CEO Eric Xu.
Huawei, a supplier of networking gear, has for years fended off allegations from the U.S. that it secretly spies for the Chinese government. But last year the dispute appeared turned on its head when leaks alleged the U.S. had been secretly spying on China.
Not only had the U.S. National Security Agency hacked into Chinese telecommunication companies, but also spied on the communications of Huawei executives, according to documents from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
During Huaweis global analyst summit on Wednesday, Huaweis Xu said the leaks from Snowden have had both a good and bad impact on the companys business, without elaborating. But later added Huawei wants to avoid government disputes, and conduct its own business quietly.
Huawei, however, is still facing difficulties in the U.S. market. In 2012, a U.S. congressional panel declared the company a security threat, and asked U.S. companies to buy their telecommunication equipment elsewhere.
It prompted Huawei to shift its carrier business away from the U.S., citing geopolitical reasons.
Despite the change, Huaweis annual revenue is still growing. In 2013, the company generated 239 billion yuan (US$38.7 billion) in sales, up 8.5 percent from the previous year. But in North America, Huawei saw a business slowdown, according to the companys annual report. This led to a 1.3 percent year-over-year decline in sales for the Americas region.
For this year, the company plans on raising its investment in research by 14 percent, to about 35 billion yuan. One of the projects its investing in includes 5G technologies to bring mobile network download speeds to 10 gigabits-per-second.

INTRODUCTION TO WAMP SERVER (Open Source Software) - Video
KUALA LUMPUR (April 23): Provider of open source software solutions, Red Hat Inc, is targeting a double-digit growth in the current financial year ending Feb 28, 2015, fueled by strong subscription growth for its Linux operating system.
For the just-ended financial year ended Feb 28, 2014, revenue increased to US$1.53 billion, from US$1.33 billion chalked up in the 2013 financial year.
For the fourth-quarter ended Feb 28, 2014, Red Hat's revenue rose 15 per cent to US$400 million, from the same quarter last year.
Asean Senior Director and General Manager, Damien Wong, said the company saw significant upturn in Malaysia, in terms of customer's interest, awareness and demand for Red Hat products and services, especially for its flagship product; Linux.
"Adoption rate is higher, since large organisations and enterprises have greater acceptance towards open source system," he told reporters, during a briefing on Red Hat's Business Performance and Strategic Initiative.
Meanwhile, Country Manager for Malaysia and Brunei, David Yap, said the company planned to expand its partner landscapes, which included resellers, original equipment manufacturers and system integrators in Malaysia.
"We are currently aiming for more independent software vendors to become our partners, in the near-future," said Yap.
The company also aimed to implement open and hybrid clouds systems, together with its next generation datacenters in Malaysia next year, in order to continuously improve customer support, to gain trust from local clients.
Red Hat provides innovative solutions to more than 90 per cent of the fortune companies, across several verticals, including financial services, technology and media telecommunications, service providers and government entities.
