Comment Policy stated consequences? (Score 1) 480
Something tells me this can't be their first encounter if they're getting 3 months suspension. If that's the case I'd see if there are any free lawyers. The use policy for the IT department resources outline the following punishments:
Consequences for Inappropriate Use
Suspension of access to the system.
Revocation of the computer system account; or
Other disciplinary or legal action, in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct and applicable laws.
So sure there is the catch all of "Other disciplinary or legal action..." but the policy also states you might find things you don't like, so suck it up and deal with it. Seems a little harsh to go 3 months. I wonder if it's not the start of an Urban legend. If it's true, it's just another case of teachers or staff being too damn lazy to do a proper job of teaching and administrating.
