Northern Illinois University Acceptable Use Policy
Overview
This Policy is a guide to the acceptable use of NIU network facilities and services(Services).Any Member or Affiliate organization or individual
connected to NIU's network in order to use it directly,or to connect to any other network(s),must comply with this policy and the stated
purposes and Acceptable Use policies of any other network(s)or host(s)used.Each Member and Affiliate organization is responsible for the
activity of its users and for ensuring that its users are familiar with this policy or an equivalent policy.In addition,each Member and Affiliate is
encouraged to maintain and enforce its own Acceptable Use policies.The provisions of this policy govern all use of the Services,including any
unsupervised anonymous network access offered by Members or Affiliates.The following guidelines will be applied to determine whether or not
a particular use of the Services is appropriate:
(1) Users must respect the privacy of others.Users shall not intentionally seek information on,or represent themselves as,
another user unless explicitly authorized to do so by that user.Nor shall Users obtain copies of,or modify files,other data,
or passwords belonging to others.
(2) Users must respect the legal protection applied to programs,data,photographs,music,written documents and other
material as provided by copyright,trademark,patent,licensure and other proprietary rights mechanisms.
(3) Users must respect the integrity of other public or private computing and network systems.Users shall not intentionally
develop or use programs that harass other users or infiltrate any other computer,computing system or network and/or
damage or alter the software components or file systems of a computer,computing system or network.
(4) Use should be consistent with guiding ethical statements and accepted community standards.Use of the Services for
malicious,fraudulent,or misrepresentative purposes is not acceptable.
(5) The Services may not be used in ways that violate applicable laws or regulations.
(6) The Services may not be used in a manner that precludes or significantly hampers network access by others.Nor may the
Services be used m a manner that significantly impairs access to other networks connected to NIU.
(7) Connections which create routing patterns that are inconsistent with the effective and shared use of the Services may not be
established.
(8) Users are prohibited from sending unsolicited advertising,whether commercial or informational in nature to addresses that
have not specifically requested such material.
(9) Repeated,unsolicited and/or unwanted communication of an intrusive nature is strictly prohibited.Continuing to send e-
mail messages or other communications to an individual or organization after being asked to stop is not acceptable.
The intent of this policy is to identify certain types of uses that are not appropriate,but this policy does not necessarily enumerate all possible
inappropriate uses.Using the guidelines given above,NIU may at any time make a determination that a particular use is not appropriate.
NIU will not monitor or judge the content of information transmitted via the Services,but will investigate complaints or abusive data stream
patterns of possible inappropriate use.In the course of investigating complaints,NIU staff will safeguard the privacy of all parties and will
themselves follow the guidelines given in this policy and in NIU's Privacy Policy.NIU will only release sensitive,confidential or personally
identifiable information to third parties when required by law,or when in NIU's judgment,release is required to prevent serious injury or harm
that could result from violation of this policy.
Remedial Action
When NIU learns of possible inappropriate use,NIU staff will notify the Member or Affiliate responsible,who must take immediate remedial
action and inform NIU of its action.NIU will assist the Member or Affiliate in identifying the nature and source of the inappropriate use and in
implementing remedial action if requested.Provided the Member or Affiliate implements remedial action promptly,NIU will take no further
action.If NIU is unable to contact the Member or Affiliate,or if the Member or Affiliate is unable to implement remedial action,NIU reserves
the right to pursue remedial action independently.Wherever possible,NIU will pursue remedial action with the least impact to the overall service
for the Member or Affiliate.Should the situation be considered an emergency,and NIU deems it necessary to prevent further inappropriate
activity,NIU may temporarily disconnect a Member or Affiliate.An emergency is defined as:"Serious security incidents that require immediate
attention to prevent harm to an individual,to protect information from loss or damage that would be difficult or impossible to correct or to deal
with serious on-going denial of service attacks."If temporary disconnection is deemed necessary by NIU staff,every effort will be made to
inform the Member or Affiliate prior to disconnection,and every effort will be made to re-establish the connection as soon as it is mutually
deemed safe.
