Educational institutions play a unique role in promoting intellectual freedom.
They serve as a point of voluntary access to information and ideas and as a learning laboratory for students as they develop the critical thinking and problem solving skills needed in a pluralistic society. The Internet allows such institutions to expand and expedite access to information. LSCC students, faculty and staff are allowed access to Internet resources with the understanding that some material that can be accessed is inaccurate or may contain elements that may not meet community or personal standards of decency. As voluntary users, Internet researchers are responsible for defining the constraints of the search. The college shall not be held accountable for the accuracy or decency of data retrieved via the Internet.
