In accordance with the preceding policy, all students, faculty and staff at UALR are expected to act responsibly in the use of all computing resources. Computing resources are intended primarily for the use of students, staff, faculty, and administrators for the completion of their assigned duties. UALR and Computing Services must authorize users of computing resources. Any member of the University community who, without authorization, accesses, destroys, alters, or disfigures any type of computing resource has engaged in unethical and unacceptable conduct. The following material, though not exhaustive, defines UALR Computing Services position regarding several general issues in this area and should be considered guidelines for responsible computer use at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
Users are responsible for all use and security of their accounts and passwords.
Use of an account, IA operator number, etc., by any person other than the authorized individual is prohibited. Passwords should be safeguarded. Changing another user s password is considered a form of harassment and is unethical behavior. Computer information should be treated no differently than the written word. Viewing or using another person's files, programs or data without authorized permission from that user is unethical behavior.
