Inappropriate Use of Information and Communication Technology.

Users of information and communication technology may enjoy relatively unencumbered use of these services but in return they have an obligation to act responsibly and respect the rights of others. An obvious requirement is to obey the laws of Canada and Ontario, and to abide by the policies and codes of the University. These provisions deal with issues such as harassment, threatening behaviour, hate crimes, libel and defamation, discrimination, theft, fraud and plagiarism, whether ICT is involved or not. Particular facilities and services may impose additional conditions on their users. Some specific examples of inappropriate use that might arise from the violation of laws or University policies are set out below. The list is not exhaustive.
