More Recent Changes to the Computers and Academic Freedom (CAF) Archive

I've reorganized the CAF archive. About two dozen files have moved and
many files have been added.

The new subarchives are:

statements - statements related to computers and academic freedom
academic   - information about general academic freedom
cases      - information about specific cases and incidents
admin      - information about the adminstration of the CAF discussion lists and archive
civil-liberty - information about civil liberty

The archive is available via anonymous ftp to ftp.eff.org (192.88.144.4) in
directory "pub/academic". It is also available via email. For
information on email access send email to archive-server@eff.org. In
the body of your note include the lines "help" and "index".

For more information, to make contributions, or to report typos
contract Carl Kadie (kadie@eff.org).

Rules of Network Usage for Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Turkey.
(critiqued)


=================
ftp.eff.org:pub/academic/policies/metu.bitnet.critique
=================
This is a critique of the Computer Policy of Middle East Technical
University (METU) in Ankara, Turkey. Most of my references are to US
centered documents, the ones to which I am most familar.

The METU policy provides no due process protection and bans much
speech. In this, it is similar to some of policies of universities
such as Iowa State, U. of Texas, and U. of Illinois. In contrast to
these the U.S. speech restrictions, METU's bans are clear and (as far
as I know) legal.

ftp.eff.org:pub/academic/policies/mu.edu
=================
Policy on Authorized Use of M.U. Public Computer Systems. Marquette
University is a private religious university.
(critiqued)

=================
ftp.eff.org:pub/academic/policies/mu.edu.critique
=================
Critique of Policy on Authorized Use of M.U. Public Computer Systems. Marquette
University is a private religious university.

Computer Services presupposes that anyone it accuses of misuse is in
fact an offender. It sounds as if a user could be permanently expelled
from the system without ever having a chance to speak, without the
chance of a formal hearing, and without an opportunity to appeal.

Critique of Acceptable Usage Statement from Virgina Tech

Summary: The policy shows good user participation and due process.
Privacy could be improved by detailing the procedure by which searches
are authorized. Freedom of expression could be improved by removing
vague speech restrictions.
