The Maverick Guide: General University Policies- Electronic Mail

Relevant Excerpt

Each person is responsible for all electronic mail messages originating from their user ID. Therefore:

• Attempts at sending e-mails that are harassing, legally obscene and/or a “true threat” to another user are prohibited.
• Attempts at sending unsolicited commercial messages or junk mail/spam are prohibited. Spam is defined as creating or knowingly disseminating unwanted and unsolicited emails or materials, in such a large volume that it tends to disrupt the proper functioning of university information technology resources or individual’s ability to use such resources.
• Displaying legally obscene or sexually harassing images or text in a public computer facility or location that can potentially be in view of other individuals is prohibited.
