Policy Considerations

University policies on electronic data and communications apply to all wired or wireless data networking. Relevant parts of those policies include the privacy, non-interference, and finite capacity provisions in the Policy Regarding Abuse of Computers and Network Systems. Under the Responsible Use of Electronic Communications Policy, the university reserves the right to limit access to its network under certain and particular circumstances, such as in the case of security, legal or policy violations. Misrepresenting one's identity on the network is a violation of university policy. University policy also incorporates all applicable federal and state laws. Third party "spoofing," monitoring, recording, or "listening-in" on electronic communications violates both federal law and university policy.

Links to the full text of the policies mentioned above can be found on the policy page, http://www.cit.cornell.edu/computer/policies/, after you finish registering. For a practical interpretation of university networking policies, see "Understanding Your IT Rights and Responsibilities." Questions about the applicability of these policies to the use of electronic communications may be directed to the Office of Information Technologies Policy Advisor, it-policies@cornell.edu.
