Standard 1: Guiding Principles
|
- Guiding Principles
- Mt. San Antonio College will provide Web Hosting
services in an intellectual environment that encourages the
free and open exchange of information and ideas for administration,
faculty, staff, and students who wish to create a web presence
using the College web server. The College encourages an atmosphere
of intellectual respect and responsibility to ensure everyone
enjoys creative freedom without fear their intellectual efforts
will be violated, altered, destroyed, or plagiarized.
- To ensure an atmosphere of intellectual freedom and respect, the
College requires that all members of the College online community
accept responsibility to protect and respect the rights of others.
Any member of the College online community who, without authorization,
accesses, uses, alters, or destroys the intellectual property
of others or who accesses, uses, alters, destroys, or denies access
to College information resources will be subject to disciplinary
action and possible criminal prosecution.
- While the College encourages the free and open access to
information resources and exchange of ideas, all users
of College information resources should have the right
to choose which information to access and view. Users
of College information resources should therefore take
responsible and reasonable care to neither knowingly nor
deliberately expose others to material that might be considered
offensive. Since the web site is the world's window to
Mt. San Antonio College, the College encourages all members
of its online community to exhibit high ethical and intellectual
standards.
- These principles apply to all members of the College online
community, including administration, faculty, staff, and
students of the College. While the College encourages
intellectual and creative freedom, it also highly encourages
responsible use.
- The purpose of the Standards of Conduct is to ensure security
of the information and technology provided by Mt. San
Antonio College to members of the College online community
and to promote the efficient, effective, ethical, and
legal use of the web site and information resources. The
spirit of these standards is to encourage respect and
cooperation and promote the ethical, legal, and secure
use of the web and information resources. The College
provides web host services and access to information resources
with the understanding that members of the College online
community will contribute positively to the free and open
exchange of information and ideas.
- The College expects its online community members to use
the web and information resources in a manner consistent
with instructional and administrative objectives of the
College. Members are encouraged to safeguard personal
information, passwords and authorization codes, and other
confidential data. In exchange for hosting and access
services, members of the College online community agree
to abide by these guidelines. These standards and practices
guidelines are not necessarily all-inclusive, and may
be modified at any time.
