Ethical Use of Computers
Honesty is the underlying principle for all computer use. At one extreme,
significant violations of Academic Integrity
may result in penalties including dismissal from the University.. More
generally, common sense civility and respect for another's rights and computer
property is as important to our CSE community as proper treatment of our
equipment. Adapted, with permission, from Computer Literacy, by Helene
G. Kershner:
-
Respect the privacy of others. Do not in any way examine or change files
or passwords belonging to others. Do not violate the privacy of individuals
or organizations.
-
Respect the integrity of the computing systems. Do not develop or use programs
that invade, damage, or alter computing systems or software. Do not in
any way harass other users.
-
Always identify the user accurately. Never use someone else's account.
Do not use fraudulent means to avoid accounting for the use of computing
services.
-
Respect copyrights and licenses. To copy a licensed computer program is
illegal; it is indeed theft.
-
Respect the intellectual property of others. Individual programming assignments
are expected to be done by individual students; do not take another's work
or ideas to call your own.
-
Exhibit responsible, sensible use of computer hardware, software, and data.
