Re: Disclaimers

  One of the things that is driving us toward having a more structured logon
process is that, with the deployment of wireless and increasingly of "cafe"
areas, the number of machines on our network that are NOT college assets is
exploding.  So an assertion that the computer *is* will not be received
favourably in many quarters.
  We are, I think, making progress in getting users to understand that the
network is a shared resource, and that it is managed by policies and staff
just as other campus resources are (such as the library) to ensure that it
is available to support the business and the educational mission of the
college.

Has any other institution put a disclaimer during the logon process?  One
that states the computer and network is a University asset and must abide by
its policies?

Thank you.
