RESPONSIBILITY

 Vice presidents and chancellors are responsible for developing, documenting, and communicating mechanisms to ensure compliance with the following policies:

 PERSONAL USE OF EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES

 University equipment and services such as computers, copiers, facsimiles, machines, tools, and data networks accessing electronic mail and institutional, college, or departmental computer systems should not be used for solicitation or for purposes not authorized by the Board of Regents, one's sole monetary gain, excessive personal data, or excessive personal messages.

 PERSONAL LONG-DISTANCE TELEPHONE CALLS

 University telephones shall not be used for personal long distance calls, unless charged to an individual's residence telephone or personal credit card. In addition, charges for personal calls from an off-campus phone through the operator to any University number or credit card are not allowed.

 Departments are responsible for monitoring the charges being made to their phones. If any person causes an improper charge, the department must collect the amount and deposit it in the account from which the bill was paid. The department is expected to take appropriate action to see that the infraction is not repeated.

 PERSONAL MAIL

 University interoffice mail services should not be used by employees for personal mail or solicitation of funds. Sending or requesting receipt of personal mail is an example of misuse of University interoffice mail services.
