Info

(c) (d) Whenever information resources personnel go into a faculty or staff office without the faculty/staff member present, they should leave a message indicating why they were there and what was done. It is the faculty or staff member’s responsibility to contact Information Resources regarding deletion of files upon termination of employment at Butler. Any mail system specific files abandoned by a user will be deleted. Any other files abandoned will be deleted or retained for use by the University as determined by the Chief Information Officer or his/her delegate. 7. Student accounts and any associated files are subject to deletion at the beginning of the next fall or spring term for which the student fails to register. Electronic Mail 1. The purpose of electronic mail is to enhance communication. Therefore, it is important that all faculty/staff members be connected to the system and that a system be selected that will ease communication between different types of computers. 2. Pursuant to the Electronic and Communications Privacy Act of 1989, Title 18, United States Code, Sections 2510 and following, notice is hereby given that there are no facilities provided by the University for sending or receiving confidential messages. The computing system administrator, and his or her designates, may have the ability to view all messages and files of any user. However, it is not the routine policy of the administrator to review messages, and the general policy is to keep messages private, even though such privacy cannot be guaranteed. 3. Privacy of messages routed off campus is not within the control of Butler University. 4. Electronic mail addressed to a Butler network address for a student, faculty or staff member who is no longer attending or employed by the University will be deleted. There will be no attempt made to ascertain the contents of messages, whether previously read by the addressee or not. 5. Electronic mail is required to carry a valid “from” name of the individual who sent it. Mail represented as being from someone other than the sender will be considered a violation of these guidelines that can result in student conduct action. External Network Use 1 1. The Internet connection at Butler is for the use of persons legitimately affiliated with Butler University or affiliate organizations, to facilitate the exchange of information consistent with the academic, educational and research purposes of its members. 2. Use of external networks shall: (a) Avoid interfering with the work of other users of the networks. Messages that are likely to result in the loss of recipients’ work or systems are prohibited. (b) Avoid disrupting the network host systems (nodes). (c) Avoid disrupting network services. 3. Users of external networks are expected to be responsible in their use: (a) “Chain letters,” “broadcasting” messages to lists or individuals, and other types of use that would cause congestion of the networks or otherwise interfere with the work of others are not allowed. (b) External networks are not to be used from Butler for commercial purposes, such as marketing, reselling bandwidth, or business transactions between commercial organizations. 4. Any communication that violates applicable laws and regulations is not allowed. In particular, any messages and data sent to destinations outside the U.S. must satisfy the Department of Commerce regulations (either be within the GTDA guidelines for information that may be generally transmitted or have the required license). 95
(a) A number of websites exist today that make it easy to download music and video files from the Internet. However, many of these materials available for download are illegal duplications and made available without permission of the copyright owner. Downloading and other duplication of copyrighted materials is only legal with the permission of: the actual copyright owner; or a legitimate claim of “fair use.” Therefore, music and/or video files nay not be downloaded or otherwise copied from the Internet without the specific written approval of an authorized officer of the University. When such downloads are authorized, you must promptly check any downloaded files of software for viruses. Software Licensing 1. Butler University’s policy is to license all software used on campus according to applicable law. In order to maintain documentation of compliance with these laws, the department of information resources must maintain certain records on all faculty/staff software acquisition and track information about our investment in software. 2. The information resources department will retain original distribution media, and other proofs of purchase when applicable, for all University-owned software. The proof of purchase is often needed for software upgrades and/or to establish proof of legal license. Media also provide protection for the University’s investment if a faculty/staff member leaves and the software is transferred to a new person. Media allows for re-installation and/or personalization of the software for the new user and can serve as a form of backup for the original user if the application software is accidentally corrupted or destroyed. 3. Software license rules must be followed regardless of the physical location of the software that is used and the access method used to activate the software. 4. Faculty/staff members may also use personally purchased software on the University systems providing: (a) The software is used according to its license requirements. (b) The software is registered with the department of information resources along with a signed statement or copies of appropriate proof of purchase of license. (c) The software does not adversely react with other University software installed on the system, or violate any licensing requirements of the University software. (d) The software does not adversely affect operation, traffic or security of the network and its other computer nodes. (e) Operation and/or consulting assistance is not needed for successful use of the software. Scanning Documents 1. It is Butler’s policy to comply with any federal, state, or local regulation related to electronic scanning of documents, including “fair use” policies on copyrighted material. 2. Under guidelines from the U.S. government it is stated that anyone who scans “sensitive documents” risks “Constructive Seizure” of their computer equipment, up to $25,000 in fines, or up to 15 years imprisonment. These guidelines define “sensitive documents” to include the following: (a) Money (b) Federal Reserve notes (c) U.S. postage stamps (d) Foreign postage stamps (e) Revenue stamps (f) Other negotiable valuated articles (for example, checks, bonds, and securities) 1 Adapted from the Acceptable Use Policy of the Corporation for Research and Educational Networking 96
