Monitoring is done only by full-time Law School staff members, and individual user privacy is fully respected at all times. In short, although users may not assume absolute privacy, every possible effort will be made to try to ensure it. This means users should not give their password to a friend, allow remote, passwordless logins to their account, or log someone in and then let others use their account. This applies equally to all Law School and UCS supported machines connected to the main campus network. If the Law School or UCS determines that access to an account has been compromised, the account may be disabled for security reasons.
Users are responsible for all actions performed by their account.
If a user suspects that his or her account has been used by another person, that user should report the unauthorized use immediately to UCS or the Law School. If a user authorizes use of his or her account by another party, the user is in violation of this policy. Furthermore, any user who has knowledge that his or her account has been used by another party will be subject to disciplinary action for the activities of the unauthorized user as well as the user's own actions which are in violation of this policy. All users of USC Law School computers and network resources consent to periodic monitoring of activities by authorized personnel. Sending harassing, offensive, or forged electronic mail is a violation of Law Library, Law School, and UCS computing policy.
