930: Electronic Mail Acceptable Use

Relevant Excerpt

As with any state-provided resource, the use of email services should be dedicated to legitimate University activities and is governed by rules of conduct similar to those applicable to the use of other information technology resources. The use of email services is a privilege that imposes certain responsibilities and obligations on State users and is subject to State policies and local, state, and federal laws.

Acceptable use must be legal, ethical, reflect honesty, and show restraint in the consumption of shared resources. It demonstrates respect for intellectual property, ownership of information, system security mechanisms, and the individual's rights to freedom from intimidation, and harassment.
