3.4 Harassment
Information Technology clients must not use University resources to harass others. This is considered a serious offense which Information Technology will pursue according to University regulations. Information Technology considers displaying or sending of un-requested, objectionable (as defined by the recipient) material to others to be harassment.

Clients may not use University resources to support inappropriate activities on any network, even if the activities don't interfere directly with University resources. Information Technology will pursue allegations of inappropriate network activities with the utmost diligence.
