Policy for Responsible Use

Millersville University recognizes the importance of information technology to the mission of a modern university. These electronic resources provide vital communication links among faculty, students and staff. They are infused into the curriculum and provide expanded opportunities for accessing instruction and information. These resources facilitate research and scholarly endeavors, and they aid collaboration within and beyond the borders of the campus. Information technology permits the University to provide its services to faculty, students, staff, and the community and to streamline administrative processes. Millersville University makes electronic resources available to faculty, staff and students for the purpose of conducting official University business, including academic scholarship and research purposes.

Millersville University's expectation of responsible, considerate, and ethical behavior extends to cover the use of campus microcomputers and workstations, departmental computing facilities, general-use computers, campus network resources, video conferencing, fax, telephone, cable TV, and networks throughout the world to which the University provides computer access. Use of University resources must comply with State and Federal law and University policies.

This policy covers all electronic media, including but not limited to: campus and State System of Higher Education networks, central and distributed computing facilities, voice and video networks and systems, electronic mail, listserv and mailing list discussion groups, Internet and world wide web access, and electronic records stored on either servers or systems under the control of an individual or the university.

Uses of public electronic resources (such as computer labs) other than for these purposes is not permitted. Occasional and limited personal use of electronic resources for telephone, voice mail, e-mail or Internet access is expected but this privilege can be withdrawn by the University for any use or application that the University at its sole discretion deems inappropriate. If the non-business usage of any information service results in a direct cost to the university for any reason, it is the individual's responsibility to reimburse the University. Any commercial use intended for personal profit or financial gain may be a violation of the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
