The President's Council along with members of Computing Services recently approved and published a new Carnegie Mellon Computing Policy. The policy replaces the Computing Code of Ethics as well as the Statement of Responsibilities in Shared Computing Environments, both of which were developed long before the unique situations of today's computing environment could have been anticipated.
The new policy applies to all users of Carnegie Mellon computing systems--students, faculty, staff, and any others granted the use of university computing resources. It is each user's responsibility to read, understand and abide by the policy which includes updated and expanded sections that detail users' responsibilities. A section on "Misuse and Inappropriate Behavior" outlines specific activities expressly prohibited at Carnegie Mellon.
The Computing Policy text is posted at http://www.cmu.edu/policies/documents/Computing.htm.
