At the same time that electronic information resources offer tremendous opportunities of educational value, they also represent a wide-open frontier where persons with illegal or unethical purposes can find avenues for reaching users. Illegal activities are those which violate local, state or federal law. Inappropriate activities are those that violate the intended use of the networks, or its purpose and goal. Obscene activities are those that violate generally accepted social standards for use of a publicly owned and operated communication vehicle. All users should be aware that inappropriate use of electronic information resources can be a violation of local, state, and federal law.
Violations can lead to prosecution.
If you are accused of any of these violations, you have the rights and privileges you would have if you were accused of school vandalism, fighting, or rule infringement.
