OK, I'm new to this, and I'm sure this topic's been dredged before,
but this is on a need-to-know basis:

if you're on a computer, and youve signed no 'computer use'
agreements, and your university has no 'understood' agreements on
computer use, what are your rights of privacy concerning text files
and email?

the reason I'm asking, is on one of my class accounts, the /root is being
very fascist...he's deleted mail, read mail, and gone as far as changing
words in mail. im not talking mail about 3 on one lesbian sex, or cracked
visa numbers: i mean just opinionated stuff about university policy, anti
desert storm mail, and anything that mentions computing not affiliated
directly with the class youre in.

any ideas on what i can yell at the dean about that will back me up?
post or email me....the silver and rose.ucs.indiana.edu paths are
secure...thanks

jon
