​​Salem Academy and ​​College Electronic Resources Usage Policy


Purpose ​and Scope

Salem Academy and College (“Salem”) recognizes the value of computers, networks, email, the Internet, and other electronic resources (collectively, “Electronic Resources”) to improve1 student learning and to enhance the administration and operation of its schools. In support of the mission and goals of the institution, Salem requires the responsible use of Electronic Resources and implements this policy for the purpose of establishing general guidelines for students, employees, and guests regarding the acceptable use of Electronic Resources owned, leased, operated, or maintained by Salem. This policy may be supplemented and reviewed in conjunction with other specific use policies for printing, passwords, wireless network usage, email, computer lab usage, domain development, and other functions as established by Salem to govern the use of Electronic Resources.

Acceptable Usage Responsib​​ilities

It is the policy of the Salem to maintain an environment that promotes ethical and responsible conduct in all Electronic Resources usage, including any online network activities, by students and employees. It shall be a violation of this policy for any employee, student, or guest of Salem to engage in any activity that does not conform to the established purpose and guidelines set forth in this policy for acceptable Electronic Resources usage. Salem retains the following rights and recognizes the following obligations with respect to Electronic Resources usage:

  • To monitor Electronic Resource use and file storage used by all users as necessary for the following:
    • During administration of such systems.
    • When required by law, regulations, other Salem policies, or contractual obligations, including but not limited to compliance with a validly issued subpoena.
    • When required to protect the health or safety of individuals, the community, or the general public.
    • When required to perform essential fun​ctions in furtherance of the College’s mission and operations.
    • When required to diagnose or fix problems with Electronic Resources, or to otherwise preserve the availability, integrity and confidentiality of Electronic Resources.
    • When required to investigate suspected violations of law, Salem policies, or other misconduct.
    • When required in connection with the College’s representation, claims, or defenses in a lawsuit or regarding a legal claim.
  • To assume no responsibility or liability for files or communications deleted due to violation of file or storage allotments, network or other computer errors, miscommunication, human error, or any other circumstances resulting in data loss.
  • To manage (create, edit, or delete) all user accounts.2
  • To monitor the use of online activities, including without limitation real-time monitoring of network activity, limiting access to websites deemed harmful, and/or maintaining a log of Internet activity for later review, for the purpose of protecting users and limiting the potential for virus and malware to be installed and cause widespread damage to Electronic Resources.
  • To provide internal and external controls as appropriate and feasible. Such controls shall include the right to determine who will have access to Salem-owned equipment and, specifically, to exclude those who do not abide by this acceptable use policy or other policies governing the use of school facilities, equipment, and materials. Salem reserves the right to restrict online destinations through software or other means.
  • To provide guidelines and make reasonable efforts to train students and employees regarding acceptable use expectations under this policy and other policies governing Electronic Resources usage.

 

Faculty and Staff Responsibi​​​​lities

  • Faculty and staff members who supervise or control students’ use of Electronic Resources or otherwise have the occasion to observe students’ use of Electronic Resources shall make reasonable efforts to monitor such use and ensure that it conforms with the mission and goals of Salem and the obligations of this policy.
  • Faculty and staff should make reasonable efforts to become familiar with the Electronic Resources they require students to use as part of their educational curriculum so that effective monitoring, instruction, and assistance may be achieved.

General Standards for Accept​able Use of Electronic Resources

Use of Electronic Resources provided by Salem is a privilege that offers a wealth of information and opportunities for research. Where they are available, Electronic Resources are offered to students, employees, and guests of Salem at no cost. In order to maintain the privilege, users agree to learn and comply with all of the provisions of this policy, including the following general standards for acceptable use of Electronic Resources:

  • Except for incidental personal use, Electronic Resources must only be used in support of the educational, research, academic instruction, and business objectives of Salem.
  • Incidental personal use of Electronic Resources by employees is permitted when it does not interfere with the performance of their job duties, cause Salem to incur a cost, negatively impact network performance for Salem users engaged in educational, research, academic instruction, and business activities, or otherwise violate this policy.
  • Students may use the Salem Electronic Resources for recreational purposes provided such use does not negatively impact network performance for Salem users engaged in educational, research, academic instruction, and business activities, cause Salem to incur a cost, or otherwise violate this policy.
  • Employees must adhere to the employment performance and conduct expectations set forth in the Faculty Guide and Personnel Manual as applicable. Students must adhere to the code of conduct set forth in the Student Handbook.
  • Users must use caution in electronically revealing their personal information. The unauthorized disclosure of the personal information of another user is prohibited.
  • Network accounts are to be used only by the authorized user to which the account is assigned or by Salem for an authorized purpose.
