Re: Personal Email

No, but we have a policy (#557) that says:

"Email service will be provided to all employees to be used in support of their job function.  Additional use of the 
email service for personal purposes, consistent with the Appropriate Use Policy (#550), is permitted during the term of 
employment; however, personal messages should be grouped separately from business-related messages to facilitate any 
needed access to business-related messages.   Users should recognize that, although the Information Privacy Policy 
(#556) applies, email privacy and security cannot be guaranteed by the technology and systems in use."

Our AUP prohibits "commercial, entrepreneurial or profit-making activities" as well as "Doing the work of commercial, 
political or religious organizations", but does not restrict  the expression of personal views of a political or 
religious nature.  And our Information Privacy Policy protects our users from random or unsupervised snooping.

Does anyone have a policy that specifically says that the use of personal email on College owned PCs is not allowed? 
(POP, IMAP, Web, Direct Exchange, etc)?
