SOSU does not routinely review users files, including e-mail. In cases of system failure and subsequent repair, or where there is reason to believe there has been unauthorized use or misuse of computer resources, SOSU shall have the authority and right to review user accounts, archival tapes, or disks in accordance with The Electronic Communications Privacy Act. Users of SOSU administrative computer resources must have a signed request form on file. Those wishing to use one of SOSU's computer labs must present their SOSU ID to the lab assistant on duty. Users may not authorize anyone to use their account for any reason.
Users are responsible for all usage on their accounts.
Users must take all reasonable precautions, including password maintenance and file protection measures, to prevent use of their accounts by unauthorized users. Files owned by individual users are to be considered as private, whether or not they are accessible by other users. The accessing of another user's account will be viewed as theft of SOSU resources and as computer fraud. Because many of the technological resources of SOSU are shared, the use of such resources for endeavors not directly related to enhancing and facilitating scholarly research and activities will be considered secondary activities. Should such secondary activities interfere in any way with primary activities, they may be terminated immediately.
