Fraudulent, harassing, offensive or obscene messages or materials are not to be sent, printed, requested, displayed, or stored on Baylor-owned or operated information systems. Baylor Information Systems Resources should not be used in a manner that would embarrass or bring discredit to the Baptist General Convention of Texas or to Baylor in the view of their constituencies. Chain letters and other unauthorized forms of mass mailings are not allowed. A person to whom Baylor has provided access to one or more of its information systems is responsible for the proper use of the resource, including proper password protection. Information system accounts that expire, along with the files in the expired accounts, will be deleted.
Accounts expire in accordance with the terms of the account.
E-mail and voice mail messages that are older than the limit set by the system administrator will be deleted. Except as noted in numbered paragraphs 3 and 8 of this policy, software systems that allow access through the network to the contents of microcomputer files may not be installed on a microcomputer without the approval of the person to whom the microcomputer is assigned. If such software is installed, it may not be used to access to the contents of files on any computer without the express approval of the person whose files are accessed. Special software is installed on University information systems in order to support resource usage accounting, security, network management, hardware and software inventory, microcomputer back-up systems and software updating functions, and to provide better support to personnel. Authorized personnel may access others' files when necessary for the maintenance and security of information systems.
