Re: Confidentiality

In our AUP it states:


1. Access to Files and Email: The use of the Network is not private. Madei=
ra does not, as a general matter, monitor a user's files, email messages, c=
omputer usage, or any other form of electronic communication. If, however, =
Madeira believes (a) that a user may be in violation of the law, this AUPA,=
or any other School rules of conduct, (b) that a person or property is in =
jeopardy, or (c) that the best interests of Madeira otherwise so require, M=
adeira reserves the right to gain access to a user's files, email messages,=
any other form of electronic communication, or monitor computer usage. Sh=
ould this need arise, a Network Administrator and a faculty member or schoo=
l administrator will be involved. In addition, Madeira reserves the right =
to disclose the contents of such files or messages to third parties as requ=
ired or permitted by law.

Good Morning,=20

Earlier this week I was approached by my Superintendent who wondered what p=
rotections or policies were in place to ensure privacy and confidentiality =
of e-mails, documents, etc. in regards to the Network Administrator. Do you=
r Network Admins need to sign a code of ethics? Or is the general operating=
procedure to trust them to do their job and stay out of business that is n=
ot related to them? I think the Superintendent was trying to ensure protect=
ion for the Network Admin if any accusations were to come up.


Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
