[...] Is offensiveness banned from all university media and resources (e.g. library, common areas, etc) or just from the computers? If computers are treated differently, why? Since offensiveness is subjective, how is it determined? Does it count if an outsider is offended? For example, I find the policy itself very offensive, assuming it was prepared using the computer facilites, how can I file a complaint and have the author of the policy punished? - Carl -- Carl Kadie -- I do not represent EFF; this is just me. =kadie@eff.org, kadie@cs.uiuc.edu =
