Lake Michigan College
Email Policy
Policy Adopted March 26, 1996
It is the policy of Lake Michigan College to
maintain e-mail access and systems for its community for the expressed
purpose of communicating locally, nationally and internationally.
It is the intent of the College that the e-mail system is to be
used primarily for professional purposes associated with the business
and academic pursuits related to the College.
All e-mail correspondence conducted using the
College's resources are part of the College's e-mail system and
property of the College. In instances of alleged violation of
the College's policies or procedures as defined below, the Information
Technology staff upon written authorization from the President
of Lake Michigan College or his/her designee may view the contents
of e-mail messages with the owner of the e-mail invited to be
present.
The College will not release the contents of
e-mail messages unless directed by a court of law.
Access to e-mail is a privilege and must be treated
as such by all users. Any member of the College community who
sends unauthorized messages under someone else's name, threatening
messages, or messages not associated with the College's mission
has engaged in unethical and unacceptable conduct.
The College characterizes as unethical and unacceptable
and just cause for disciplinary or legal action, according to
the Lake Michigan College Student Handbook and the policies related
to each employee classification, any activity through which an
individual:
a. violates College or third party copyright or patent protection
and authorizations, including license agreements and other contracts,
b. interferes with the intended use of the operation of e-mail
systems,
c. seeks to gain or gains unauthorized access to e-mail resources,
d. alters, dismantles, or disfigures messages so as to hide the
originator or disguise the originator of the message.
e. Invades the privacy of the individuals enrolled in the email
system
f. Creates a situation that results in inefficient or wasteful
use of the College's e-mail system
