Question

Describe clearly with sufficient details and comments the IT Code of Ethics of the College, the
IT Deanship or the University. Student may start by looking at information and documentation
which is available on the University website. If such information is not available, students may
request documentation directly from relevant administration. Students will then have to read,
analyze and criticize the code. If the code is incomplete or is not well written as compared to
international standards, the students should complete it, propose modifications or even
propose new principles. Any of these should be explained, motivated and well documented.

Answer 1

IT Code of Ethics of College

Usage -> Every student must use the IT infrastructure of the university for the academic purpose only. Since the university is huge and has a demand of decent bandwidth for academic use, the infrastructure should not be used for personal use.

Complaint -> No student should access the prohibited websites under any circumstances via any third party unblocking software. The websites are blocked on the network to promote academic growth and minimise the wastage of time.

Sharing -> Every student is given an user id and password to login for accessing the internet. In any circumstances, these should not be shared with any person outside or within the university. Any undesirable activity by the login details would result is action against the student having the associated id.

Hardware -> The hardware used in the labs should be limited to be used within the labs. Any equipment/device should not be taken out of the lab to give everyone an equal opportunity to use the shared resources.

Privacy -> No student should try to infilterate the network of the university via any source or knowledge gained via the courses. Any such activity should be done in ethical way and be brought up to the notice of the administration.

Bandwidth -> In order to have a more bandwidth, no student should remove/restrict connections to the routers via any networking technique. This would also result is non-compliant for the IT policies.
