The most frequent computing-related complaint voiced by faculty, staff and students is the fact that the dial-up lines are always busy during the evening hours. After considering several alternatives, the Computer Resource Committee approved the following policy during its meeting on March 9, 1995:

Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is not allowed over the dial-up lines from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday - Friday and from 1:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Sunday.

Violation of this policy and the game playing policy may result in the loss of Internet privileges, VAX account privileges, and/or disciplinary action.
