- Information Technology Use
- Access to the information resource infrastructure both within the University
and beyond the campus, sharing of information, and security of the intellectual
products of the academic community require that each and every user accept
responsibility to protect the rights of other users. Any member of the
University community who, without authorization, accesses, uses, destroys,
alters, dismantles or disfigures the University information resources,
properties or facilities, including those owned by third parties, thereby
threatens the atmosphere of increased access and sharing of information,
threatens the security within which members of the community may create
intellectual products and maintain records, and engages in unethical and
unacceptable conduct. Access to the information technology systems at the
University is provided as a privilege and must be treated as such by all users
of these systems. Members of the University community should strive for the most
responsible use of the institution's resources. Users accept the responsibility
to 1) respect the legal protection provided by copyright and licensing of
programs and data, 2) respect the privacy and rights of other users, and 3)
respect the intended usage of resources.
Information resources in this statement are meant to include any information in
electronic or audiovisual format or any hardware or software that make possible
the storage and the use of such information (i.e., electronic mail, local
databases, externally accessed databases, CD-ROM, motion picture film, recorded
magnetic media, photographs, digitized information, voice mail, faxes).
