The intent of this statement is to give an overview of acceptable and unacceptable uses of ENC's computing resources without exhaustively enumerating all such uses and misuses. This statement is intended as an addition to existing college policies concerning academic honesty, harassment, and usage of facilities. The predominant goal of this policy is to promote honesty, respect for individuals and respect for both physical and intellectual property in the use of computing resources.
All expectations regarding academic honesty and professional ethics extend to electronic media.
The primary purpose of ENC's computing resources is to enhance and support the educational mission of Eastern Nazarene College. As a Christian community, we take the stewardship of our resources seriously since it is a means to develop effective servants to address the needs of our world. These resources include those microcomputers, workstations and multi-user computer systems owned by ENC or its students. In addition, computing resources include local area networks including network and telecommunication capabilities in the residence halls, as well as connections to other computer networks via the Internet. All students, faculty and staff are responsible for using ENC's computing resources in an effective, ethical, lawful, and responsible manner.
