[Vision2020] Costs for UI Email/Lawsuit

Joe,
Students own and pay for the use of the computers. So they are entitled to use them in any legal manner they wish that ASUI decides.
Faculty and Staff do not pay for the computers, or own them, but are entitled to use the computers, but only in a manner in agreement with ASUI and the UI administration. Personal use is expressly forbidden in that contract.
You ask for evidence of personal use of ASUI computers to do personal business? There are numerous emails alone on Vision2020 using emails accounts. This is evidence.
I am not going to name names, but I think we are all aware that faculty and staff here on the V have used UI accounts to post personal messages. I would imagine many of the 2000 staff and faculty on campus also do.
If they are using a computer against their contract, they are misusing it, and it is costing the students money. Unless you think computers is free? Someone is paying for it, and that someone is the ASUI.
Best Regards,
Donovan

The same would apply to students right? Or do they get to use it for what ever purpose they wish? Do you really think that faculty and staff "misuse" computers more than students?
And what constitutes "misuse"? What do you think the incidence of misuse is by faculty? By staff? By students?
I reset the continual unsupported accusations by you and others which suggest that the over worked and underpaid faculty at UI and WSU are somehow acting irresponsibly. Give me ONE piece of evidence to suggest that there is a legitimate problem here other than some hypothetical worry of your own. Be more responsible with your words, please!

Some of you seem to not know that it costs the students in fees for bandwidth and the computers that are used at the UI. Every year students have to pay an increase for all the use of computers, which are owned by the ASUI, the repair, and maintenance comes directly out of the students pocket.
It is wrong to use the computers and the resources at UI for personal use unless you are a student paying for the services and resources or an employee using it for official use.
Computers, monitors, paper, printers, bandwidth, keyboards, wires, power, technical support for use and maintenance support all costs the students money. If UI employees are using the equipment for personal use, especially when they should be working, they are taking from the students.
How much money is that, I don't know, but it doesn't matter how much you are stealing, you are still stealing.
I know students cannot always get access to a computer and have to deal with a slowed computer because there is not enough computers and bandwidth. I also know that students also have to wait to get assistance for technical support, and that students cannot get certain types of equipment because there is not enough money.
I can testify to the fact that students had to divert money to repair their soccer ball field to increase bandwidth for the students because it was overstressed.
So yes, faculty and staff that do use university computers for personal use do impact, in a negative way, student life and costs.
ASUI should require faculty and staff that want to use ASUI computers for personal use to pay the same fees as the rest of the public.
Best Regards,
Donovan

I never said that because there is no cost involved it is not wrong to
use university resources. I was responding to arguments suggesting
that it was wrong because of the costs involved. That can't be why it
is wrong -- if it is wrong -- since there are no costs.
