Examples Violation: You live in the dorm; you and two friends are together, joking about a fourth person who seems to have a personal interest in you. You go into e-mail on your Dormnet computer, create a sexually explicit message to the absent party, the person with the apparent personal interest. You have no intention of sending the message, but one of your visitors hits the "send" key. Both you and the person who caused the message to be sent will be held responsible for the incident. Violation: You forward voice mail from another person to a voice list of twenty members, prefacing the voice-mail with the untruthful comment, "Just what you'd expect of someone who paid someone else to take his SAT exams for him!" Acceptable behavior: You are alone in a campus computer cluster, and use the computer to initiate some favorite music to provide background noise while you work. However, when other people arrive to use the cluster, you stop the music. Acceptable behavior: You have an assignment that requires you to work with a collection of images some might find quite gruesome, and you need to use a computer in a campus cluster. You locate a machine that is situated in such a way as to protect others from inadvertently witnessing the images just by walking by. Violation: You create or display in the workplace, on a device that others could or may see, an image that might reasonably be found offensive or inappropriate within the context of the workplace. Violation: You change the system sound on residential college cluster computers to a potentially offensive or irritating noise. Violation: You digitize an intimate photograph and install it as the background image on the workstations in a departmental cluster. Violation: You e-mail or IM to another or others an image or joke that reasonably might be perceived by the recipient(s) as intimidating, hostile, threatening, or demeaning. Violation: You use a public cluster to print a poster slandering an individual. Violation: Knowing that your start-up screen or background display for the PC in your dormitory room might be considered offensive by some, you nonetheless seek in-person help from a computing support person or residential computing assistant without suppressing the display.
