As a member of the University community, you are given the privilege of using the campus computing and network facilities. While the use of computers, electronic information and computer networks is important for research, instruction, and administration within the academic community, use of the University computing and network is a privilege that comes with the responsibility for appropriate usage. Because the electronic environment is easily disrupted and electronic information is readily reproduced, respect for the work and rights of others is especially important. Therefore the University establishes the following policy to ensure respect for the work and rights of all members of the University community which supplements all applicable University policies and federal, state and local laws.
