The School encourages students to use and receive e-mail, to login to remote computers, and to browse databases of information. It also lets users send and receive files and programs contained on other computers. While Cardinal Hayes cannot effectively restrict the content of information obtained by students via Internet, obtaining material that is explicitly labeled as not intended for minors will be considered a violation of school rules. Furthermore, making public or passing on any material that is pornographic, violent in nature, or otherwise harassing is totally unacceptable and will be dealt with immediately by the appropriate administrator. At the present time there are no explicit rules governing the Internet.
Safety is the responsibility of the student.
The school is not liable in any way for irresponsible acts on the part of the student. Commercial software is copyrighted, and each purchaser must abide by the licensing agreement published with the software. There is no justification for the use of illegal obtained software. Cardinal Hayes will not, in any way, be held responsible for a student's own software brought to school for personal use. However, Cardinal Hayes will take full and complete responsibility for any software that is the property of the school.
