A. Use of University
Mainframe Computing Facilities 2. University faculty
and staff members conducting instructional or research
activities will be regarded as making appropriate use of
available facilities and services provided these
activities have been authorized by the appropriate
department chairperson or dean. 3. University students
may be permitted use of available facilities and
services provided such use is reasonably associated with
the academic programs as determined by the appropriate
department chairperson or dean. Student access
associated with the student services areas also may be
endorsed in some instances by the Assistant VP for
Student Development. 4. Federal, state and
local government agencies, other educational
institutions and charitable or not-for-profit
organizations may be permitted use of available
facilities and services provided such use is consistent
with University principles. The charges for such
services will be on a cost recovery basis and such
service requires the approval of the Associate V.P. of
Information Technology. 5. Individuals and
organizations not in one of the categories above may be
permitted use of available facilities and services only
if the facilities and services are uniquely available
from the University. The charges for such services will
be equal to or greater than costs involved and will
require the approval of the Associate V.P. of
Information Technology. 6. Faculty or Staff
requests for MUSIC user codes are made on a MUSIC User
Code Request form obtained from Computer Services.
Requests by a faculty/staff member for personal
administrative or research codes must be signed by the
employee's supervisor. Faculty members requesting
instructional user codes for use by their student
workers must sign the request. 7. A password is issued
with each user code. The password should be changed by
the user a minimum of once each month. Passwords are
never to be displayed openly in written material.
8. MUSIC administrative
and research user codes remain valid as long as the
employee's job status and computer access requirements
remain the same. Personal student codes are kept on file
as long as the student is enrolled in school.
Instructional user codes expire at the end of the
semester for which they are issued. 9. Requests for access
to CICS transactions are made on a DOS User Code Request
form obtained from Computer Services. The specific CICS
transactions to which access is desired must be listed
on the form, along with the type of access (review only
or update). The signature of the employee's supervisor
is required. If a transaction is administered by an
office other than that of the requester, authorization
from the administering office will also be required. The
Manager of Systems Analysis and Programming will provide
guidance in completing these forms. Some transactions
require authorization beyond a user code. The Manager of
Systems Analysis and Programming can supply the name of
the appropriate administrator to contact. 10. An employee or
student receiving a user code assumes responsibility for
all computing activity performed under that user code
(whether he or she personally performs the activity or
not). 11. User codes are
normally granted to individuals. Upon approval of the
Associate V.P. of Information Technology a user code
may be issued for use by a group. Such approval is
contingent upon acceptance of responsibility for all
computing activity performed under that user code by the
group's supervisor (whether group members perform the
activity or not). 12. Computer facilities
made available by user code should only be used to
conduct University business (either job or class-related
activities). 13. User codes may not
be transferred to another person or group. 14. Supervisors must
report to the Associate V.P. of Information Technology
on a timely basis any change in an employee's status
that effects his/her computer access requirements
(transfer, termination, reclassification, etc.).
Exceptions to this policy
must be endorsed by the appropriate Vice President and
the Executive Vice President. B. Campus Policy Regarding
Electronic Mail, MOREnet and Internet Use 2. All use of the
networks must be consistent with the goal of
facilitating the exchange of information in support of
educational and research interests. 3. The networks are NOT
secure networks. They should not be relied on to
transmit confidential or sensitive data. 4. "Chain letters,"
"broadcasting" messages to lists or individuals, and
other types of use which would cause congestion of the
network or otherwise interfere with the work of others
are not allowed. 5. Random mailings (junk
mail), casual contacts, and job solicitations are
discouraged. 6. Forging mail to make
it appear it originated from a different host and/or
individual is prohibited. 7. Intimidating and
harassing messages are prohibited. 8. Names, electronic
mail addresses, and World Wide Web home page addresses
(URLs) are considered public information and may be
released to individuals upon request. This information
may also be stored in publicly accessible directories.
Students who have requested that their "Public/Directory
Information" be withheld from public release (by
completing the appropriate form in the Student
Development Office) will not be included in such
directories. 9. Undeliverable
messages routed by the mail system to the postmaster's
mail box may be read by the postmaster. An attempt to
forward incoming messages to the intended recipient can
be made, while outgoing messages will be ignored.
10. Logging files may be
maintained as part of routine mail system management.
The address of both the sender and receiver may be
logged, along with the date, time, and length of the
message. 11. State of Missouri
law RSMo 1988 569.094-569.099 makes unauthorized access
and interference with computer systems, data, and users
illegal. 12. Section 779.3 of the
US Department of Commerce Export Administration
Regulations contains the definitive policy statement
regarding what data may be freely distributed to foreign
countries. C. World Wide Web
Publishing Policies C.1 Official Web Sites
2. Web page providers
can call on Computer Services staff for assistance, but
the staff will not assume the task of ongoing
development and maintenance of web page documents.
3. Compliance with the
purposes and policies stated in Southeast Missouri State
University's computing policies is required.
4. Applicable campus
guidelines for web page providers must be followed when
developing and maintaining web page documents.
5. Any elements
identified as required for pages published on campus
must be incorporated into web pages documents.
6. Web page documents
must be reviewed regularly for currency and accuracy.
7. The University has
the right to terminate access to web documents that
violate University policies governing computer usage,
publication, and graphic standards. 8. All federal and state
laws regarding copyright and publishing must be
followed. 9. Web page providers
must not use the resource for commercial gain unrelated
to the mission of the University. 10. Advertisements to
non-University-related functions must not appear on any
Web pages. 11. All official Web
materials must include at least once a prominent notice
of a direct link to the notice regarding any
non-official sites to which the official materials are
linked. The purpose of the notice is to indicate that,
even though links exist for the user's convenience, the
other sites are not managed by the University, and the
University takes no responsibility for their contents.
The notice must be worded as follows: C.2 Specific Elements
All Official Web Page Documents Must Include D. MOREnet Acceptable
