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

["Martinez, Brian" <brm () MSU EDU>]

This sent me on a bit of a goose chase as we have children’s summer camps on our campus as well. This is by no means 
the definitive answer, but from what I’ve gathered thus far, CIPA does not apply to higher education. I’m basing that 
off of part of a FAQ from here: http://www.edlinc.org/get_facts.html#What types of institutions may apply for the 
discount

However, clouding the above answer is the eligibility definitions laid out here: 
http://www.usac.org/sl/applicants/beforeyoubegin/definitions.aspx

Since CIPA compliance is tied to whether you receive e-rate discounts or not, I’m going out on a limb and saying it is 
not a necessity in higher-ed. The only place I could see where we’d have to be in compliance is through our library. 
And in the e-rate discount eligibility link it specifically states qualifying libraries are “not an integral part of an 
institution of higher education.” And I believe the opposite is true in our case; our libraries ARE integral to our 
institution.

Regardless, it would still be interesting to hear who is doing what, if anything. I haven’t reached out to anyone yet, 
so I’m not certain if we are doing anything. I do remember hearing this discussion around these parts at some point, 
years and years ago. Thanks for getting me to perk up my ears.

Does your institution receive E-rate funding, or have you decided that it is a good idea to follow these guidelines in 
any case?

We control what campus devices they use, segment the traffic, and have content filtering.  In the past we used OpenDNS 
for filtering.

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
