Knowledge of passwords or of loopoles in computer security systems shall not be used to damage computing resources, obtain extra resources, take resources from another user, gain unauthorized access to resources or otherwise make use of computing resources for which proper authorization has not been given. Users are responsible for backup of their own data. An account assigned to an individual must not be used by others without written permission from the system administrator. The individual is responsible for the proper use of the account, including proper password protection. The District reserves the right to access all information stored on District computers.
Every effort is made to insure the privacy of a user's files.
However, if policy violations are discovered, they will be reported immediately to the appropriate systems administrator. No one should deliberately attempt to degrade the performance of a computer system or to deprive authorized personnel of resources or access to any District computer system. This means that such computer and microcomputer software may only be copied in order to make back-up copies, if permitted by the copyright owner. The number of copies and distribution of copies may not be done in such a way that the number of simultaneous users in a department exceed the number of original copies purchased by that department. An individual's computer use privileges may be suspended immediately upon the discovery of a possible violation of these policies.
