Digital rights and responsibilities

Students Rights and ResponsibilitiesRIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIESThe following statements of rights and responsibilities are not viewed as a final accomplishment of a completed institution, but rather as themes of a direction for a growing and changing educational environment.

Students enjoy the same basic rights and are bound by the same responsibilities to respect the rights of others, as are all citizens. Saint Augustine’s University considers individuals as students upon receipt of a deposit for admission.

1. The student as a citizen has the rights of freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of peaceful assembly and association, freedom of political beliefs and freedom from personal force and violence, threats of violence and personal abuse.

2. The student as a citizen has a right to be considered equally for admission to, employment by and promotion within the campus in accordance with the provisions against discrimination in the general law.

3. Saint Augustine’s University is no sanctuary from the general law; furthermore, the campus is a community of growth and fulfillment for all rather than a setting described in the concept of in loco parentis.

EDUCATIONAL

All students have other responsibilities and rights based on the nature of the educational process and requirements of the search for truth and its free presentation. These rights and responsibilities include the following:

1. Each student has the freedom, dependent on level of competence, to teach, learn and conduct research and publish findings in the spirit of free inquiry.

2. Each student has the right to pursue normal curricular and co curricular activities, including freedom of movement.

3. Students have the right to expect that their student records contain only information that is reasonably related to the educational purposes or to the health and safety of the individual or others. Furthermore, it is assumed that the student has the right to protection from unauthorized disclosure of confidential material contained in University records.

4. Students have the right to reasonable and impartially applied regulations, designed to reflect the educational purposes of the institution and to protect the safety of the campus.

5. Students have the right to recourse if another member of the campus is negligent or irresponsible in the performance of his or her responsibilities, or if another member of the campus represents the work of others as his or her own.

6. Students who hold opinions about basic policy matters of direct concern to them have the right to have their concerns heard and considered at appropriate levels of the decision-making process. It should be noted that students who have a continuing association with the institution and who have substantial influence have an especially strong obligation to maintain an environment supportive of the rights of others.

7. Student have the responsibility to act in a manner that is conducive to learning by being prepared, prompt, attentive and courteous in all academic settings (including classrooms, laboratories, libraries, advising centers, departmental and faculty offices, etc.) and complying with requests made by a faculty or staff member in an academic setting.

1 AUP for the IIE


General Principle

• Educational Institution-provided Internet/Intranet and email privileges, are considered educational resources and are intended to be used for educational purposes only. Students should be aware that usage is monitored for unusual activity.
• Educational Institution email accounts, Internet Ids and web pages should not be used for anything other than the Educational Institution's sanctioned communications. It should be made clear to recipients that opinions expressed by individuals are not necessarily those of the Educational Institution.
• Use of the Internet/Intranet and email will be subject to monitoring for security and/or network management reasons.
• The distribution of any information through the Internet, computer-based services, email and messaging systems is subject to the scrutiny of the Educational Institution.(aupfortheiie.weebly.com)

Conditions of Use
The following practices include, but not limited to, are considered unacceptable and may be subject to disciplinary action:

• Visiting Internet sites that contain obscene, hateful or otherwise objectionable materials; sending or receiving any material that is obscene, defamatory or racist or which is intended to annoy, harass or intimidate other persons.
• Sending and receiving unusually large emails or attachments; sending or forwarding electronic chain letters.
• Students wasting time on non-educational business.
• Soliciting emails that are related to non-Educational Institution business for personal gain or profit.

Within a school, we have a computer network that is available for use by students for curriculum purposes; this network is connected to the Internet to enable students to undertake research for subject study.  To ensure that this computer network is used correctly and remains secure, it's important that we ensure that students use the facilities in an acceptable manner.   To ensure that all students adhere to the guideline they must read the ICT Acceptable Use Policy and think about its implications if or when these guidelines are broken. In addition to keeping your students safe, the AUP should addresses issues of appropriate conduct online. Plagiarism has become way too easy for students to practice in the Internet age.  understanding these terms means that you have agreed to the terms of the AUP and it stands as their “ticket” or “pass” for going online in the library. We put the AUP in writing and print it out in the form of a contract and then have students, parents (or guardians) and the principal commit to these rules by signing the contract. A copy of the AUP will be near each computer and  someone in the school will be appointed to enforce the AUP rules. One of the most important way to keep students safe while using technology is to monitor them at school and stress that parents do the same at home. (aupfortheiie.weebly.com)

The site chosen to create this AUP is weebly.com because it's perfect for creating websites that can be used in the classrooms for multiple purposes. Their drag & drop website editor is amazingly simple to use, and appropriate for use with students of all ages. There's a managed, protected environment for the students. There's powerful multimedia features. There's flexible blogging features. It's free. They don't place advertising on your site, and never will. There's 70 (and more) beautiful designs available (or you can customize your own). They provide the hosting so you don’t need to pay for a hosting provider and last but not least if you already own your own domain you can set it up so it can work with your Weebly site. Weebly was named one of TIME's 50 Best Websites of the year.(aupfortheiie.weebly.com)
