Re: Legal or compliance issues when providing children with network access

[Tracy Beth Mitrano <tbm3 () CORNELL EDU>]

Younger than 13 it might be a good idea to educate on COPPA; any age should know about network security (patching and 
anti-virus) that concerns their own devices and, if they are in computer science type classes their responsibilities 
using the institutional network (for example for scanning exercises).

Information literacy should include instruction that distinguishes enterprise and consumer privacy, as well as creating 
an Internet “profile” and social networking use (an oldie but I hope still goodie: 
http://www.it.cornell.edu/policies/socialnetworking/facebook.cfm).  Basics on your institution’s IT Policies are good 
for them to know too, especially that which involves copyright, and/or how other policies, such as code of conduct are 
incorporated in the use of information technology resources.

This is a very interesting topic. I do believe most institutions offer similar summer programs. It would be interesting 
to hear what members of our list have to says. Thanks Jim.

At TCU there is more and more use of our facilities during the summer for children’s camps of one sort or another (e.g. 
baseball, cheerleading, music). In most cases these are children under 18 and in many cases they are under 13.

Are there legal or compliance issues we need to consider if we provide them with guest network account so they can 
access the internet while staying on campus?

If so would it matter if they used the accounts in a supervised classroom setting or unsupervised in a dorm room 
overnight?

We do not do any content filtering on our network.

Thanks,
Jim
