It offers the opportunity for an entirely new way of communicating, discussing, exploring, researching and interacting consistent with the technologies that are and will be available to people in their private lives and in their employment settings. The internet is a useful educational, administrative, and research tool. However, certain Internet services contain material which may be controversial. In principle, UNE is opposed to censoring such material on the belief that the mission of the institution is best served by free and open discussion. Materials should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval.
Access is open to all users and each individual selects the manner of use.
Thus, UNE will hold users accountable for their individual behavior. It also provides internet capabilities incidentally for personal purposes, so long as those purposes do not violate university policy or adversely affect others. The internet and network are not to be used to cause harm to any individual or computer facility. Users are expected to act so as to always protect UNE's good name and reputation. Not to do so constitutes plagiarism and will be disciplined as such.
