Part 4. Personnel Policies

Section VII. Miscellaneous

A. Misuse of Computer Software

Idaho State University does not own much of the computer software in use on campus. Instead, the University obtains licenses for the use of computer software from a variety of outside sources. Faculty, staff, or students do not have the right to reproduce it unless authorized. Therefore, faculty, staff, and students shall not duplicate computer software nor use the software in any manner not in accordance with the particular license agreement involved. Those persons caught making, acquiring, or using unauthorized copies of computer software will be disciplined as appropriate under the circumstances. This may include criminal prosecution. In the case of students, this may include disciplinary action under the Students Code of Rights, Responsibilities, and Judicial Structure as well, and in the case of faculty and staff may include suspension or dismissal.
