Rule 3357:15-15-07 | Electronic communications.
Electronic communication resources include but are not limited to the college's public and private web sites, email, the mystarkstate portal and the college's learning management system's (LMS) communication tools.
(A) Electronic communication resources are an official channel of communication within the college. Students, faculty, and staff are responsible for routinely reading and taking action on official information from the college sent to their SSC email or the announcements section on the mystarkstate portal. Students may also be required to utilize LMS communication tools. Failure to do so is not an acceptable excuse for non-compliance with official information sent via these communication channels.
(B) The electronic communication resources provided by the college are intended for official college business or college-related purposes. College electronic communication resources shall not contain offensive or harassing statements, including, but not limited to, disparagement of others on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, gender, national origin, military status, pregnancy, disability, age, genetic information, or sexual orientation. College electronic communication resources shall not be used to libel, slander, abuse, intimidate or harass any other person or organization. The procedures associated with this policy further define the restrictions on the use of electronic communications.
(C) Any violation of the policy may be cause for disciplinary action and possible termination of employment or expulsion from the college. The college reserves the right to review, audit or monitor directories, files, emails and all other electronic communication activity which utilizes college resources.
