Technology Resources 1 Introduction This document sets forth the policies of Fielding Graduate University ("Fielding") regarding use of email, Internet and web technologies, telephony, interactive video and/or other electronic communication systems including voicemail, facsimiles, computers, telephones and related equipment, collectively referred to as Technology Resources. All users of Fielding's systems agree by such use to comply with the expectations outlined in this policy. This policy is not new or different, but an extension of the environment within which we already operate. Communication and technology resource policies need to reflect current technical and social environments, which are undergoing rapid development and change. Further, this technology and the social practices that shape its use are changing the nature and boundaries of organizations, personal life, and the public and private domains. In doing so, they are creating areas of social life whose relation to existing informal social norms or public or private policies and laws is not completely clear or resolved. Thus, they call for policies that are regularly and thoughtfully revised to regulate these new, changing areas in a humane and rational way that protects individual and organizational rights and defines individual and organizational responsibilities. As the media in use or the needs of Fielding Graduate University change, this policy will be updated as necessary by the Director of Information Technology and the Vice President for Institutional Planning & Effectiveness and approved by the University Leadership Team. As an institution founded to support learning, research and the dissemination of knowledge, Fielding Graduate University encourages the free exchange of ideas and information among all of its members and with members of other communities. The tools of communication can be a means of intellectual, social, cultural, emotional and moral growth, but they also can be a means of harassment and destructiveness. The University as a whole finds a compelling need not only to facilitate the free flow of information, but also to encourage civility, to obey the law and to enforce its own policies and standards. Consequently, members in the Fielding community are expected to exercise responsibility, use computing resources ethically, respect the rights and privacy of others and operate within the bounds of the law and of Fielding's policy and standards.
