Ohio Administrative Code|Rule 3357:15-15-07 | Electronic communications.

                                                
Electronic communication resources include but are
		not limited to the college's public and private web sites, email, the
		mystarkstate portal and the college's learning management system's
		(LMS) communication tools.
(A) Electronic communication resources
		  are an official channel of communication within the college. Students, faculty,
		  and staff are responsible for routinely reading and taking action on official
		  information from the college sent to their SSC email or the announcements
		  section on the mystarkstate portal. Students may also be required to utilize
		  LMS communication tools. Failure to do so is not an acceptable excuse for
		  non-compliance with official information sent via these communication
		  channels.
(B) The electronic communication
		  resources provided by the college are intended for official college business or
		  college-related purposes. College electronic communication resources shall not
		  contain offensive or harassing statements, including, but not limited to,
		  disparagement of others on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, gender,
		  national origin, military status, pregnancy, disability, age, genetic
		  information, or sexual orientation. College electronic communication resources
		  shall not be used to libel, slander, abuse, intimidate or harass any other
		  person or organization. The procedures associated with this policy further
		  define the restrictions on the use of electronic communications.
(C) Any violation of the policy may be
		  cause for disciplinary action and possible termination of employment or
		  expulsion from the college. The college reserves the right to review, audit or
		  monitor directories, files, emails and all other electronic communication
		  activity which utilizes college resources.
