Wasteful Use of Resources
Users are to refrain from deliberately performing any act that will
impair the operation of any facet of the computing resources of the
university or the resources of any recipient of the information.
Such acts include knowingly spreading computer viruses and sending
excessively large mailings, large print jobs, batch programs,
‘junk mail’ (including chain letters), etc.
Those who use computing resources for recreation, entertainment,
personal and extracurricular work are to yield to those who have
academic need for the computer resources or facilities. Examples of
non-academic use are playing computer games, printing personal or
extracurricular materials (invitations, announcements, resumes,
etc.) and chatting to personal friends. In periods of high demand,
these uses may be disallowed in computer labs.
