Rule 3344-7-05 | Acceptable use.
(A) CSU provides university e-mail services for activities and associated administrative functions supporting its mission of learning, discovery, and engagement. Although reasonable personal use of university e-mail by faculty and staff is permitted, university e-mail should be used primarily for university-related educational and administrative purposes. Any use of university e-mail that interferes with university activities and functions or violates rules of the Administrative Code or university policy shall be deemed an inappropriate use of university e-mail.
(B) CSU assumes no responsibility for the loss or recovery of personal files or e-mails. Employees are advised that they may not have access to CSU e-mail when they are no longer employed with the university and, thus, could lose access to personal e-mail messages in CSU's e-mail system.

(1) Concealment or misrepresentation of names or affiliations in e-mail messages.
(2) Alteration of source or destination address of e-mail messages.
(3) Use of e-mail for commercial or private business purposes.
(4) Use of e-mail to harass or threaten other individuals.
(5) Use of e-mail that violates copyright, libel, or defamation laws.
