Dear Juliette,



At Randolph-Macon, we could approach this probelm several ways. We have a 
"Misuse of Communications Device" violation, which we created in January 
because of a rise in illegal downloads and uploads, but it also covers 
harassing text messages, E-mails, and Facebook posts. It reads as follows:



"17. Misuse of a Communications Device �C Use of a communication device 
(telephone, computer, emergency call box, computer network, and any software 
which can be used therein, etc) to commit acts prohibited by federal, state 
or local laws or regulations, or the Code of Student Conduct or college 
policy, or which is used to disrupt the normal operations of the college or 
harass another member of the R-MC community, or which violates the 
�DUnacceptable use of resources‖ policy found in the R-MC Computer Resources 
Policies in Fishtales. Included in this provision are violations of the 
Copyright Act (1976); the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (2000) or the No 
Electronic Theft Act (1997).

a. A first violation carries a minimum sanction of $100 fine and five (5) 
College service hours, as well as denial of access to the Campus network 
until their computer is examined by ITS.

b. A second violation carries a minimum sanction of $200 fine and ten (10) 
College service hours, as well as denial of access to the Campus network 
until their computer is examined by ITS, and an educational task.

c. A third violation carries a minimum sanction of $300 fine, twenty (20) 
College service hours and may result in denial of access to the Campus 
network for one semester."



We could also charge them with an "Unlawful Behavior" violation, which reads:



"29. Unlawful behavior- Any behavior that violates federal, state or local 
law, regardless of whether it has been adjudicated by civil authorities or 
not. Open Sanctions "

Given your experience, I might add a clause about Child Pornography and 
"Extreme" Pornography to our Code, but I never thought it would be a problem 
here. Hope this helps!





                                                                              
               Wade

Subject: Child Pornography Campus Policy?

Hey all -

We unfortunately just had one of our students arrested for various counts of 
downloading child pornography. While he could be sanctioned in our office of 
student conduct under pther codes, we do not have one specifically for child 
pornography and I was wondering if anyone out there did and what your 
thoughts are about having one.

Thank you!

Juliette
