New School has finally decided to join the 1990's and for the
first time network access will be available from more than just
one lab (ie faculty offices will be up at the end of this
summer).  For New School, which believes anything worth doing can
be done in one's mind this is an enormous step.  ( i think what
turned things around was when our President was in Poland and a
Polish University President asked him for his e-mail id).

We have always had faculty users on the small network - either
they came to lab or dialed in, but now we are bringing up our
Graduate Faculty for Social Science division.  There is much
discussion here about responsible use of the network.  What can
we tell them to do on their desktop computer in their offices and
how do we enforce it? Are you having users (including or
especially faculty) sign ethical use oaths??  Is it not a real
issue? Some of my New School technology colleagues do not believe
in "academic freedom" and are quite concerned about the use of
illegal software and putting software on their hard drives that
will create conflicts with the network.

Here are my questions:  are you handling this - if so how? and is
there an FTP site where universities are depositing their ethical
use codes?

Thank you.
