- More Recent Changes to the Computers and Academic Freedom (CAF) Archive

- academic - information about general academic freedom
- cases - information about specific cases and incidents
- admin - information about the adminstration of the CAF discussion lists and archive
- civil-liberty - information about civil liberty
-
- The archive is available via anonymous ftp to ftp.eff.org (192.88.144.4) in
- directory "pub/academic". It is also available via email. For
- information on email access send email to archive-server@eff.org. In

-
- =================
- ftp.eff.org:pub/academic/policies/metu.bitnet.critique
- =================
- This is a critique of the Computer Policy of Middle East Technical
- University (METU) in Ankara, Turkey. Most of my references are to US
- centered documents, the ones to which I am most familar.
-
- The METU policy provides no due process protection and bans much
- speech. In this, it is similar to some of policies of universities
- such as Iowa State, U. of Texas, and U. of Illinois. In contrast to
- these the U.S. speech restrictions, METU's bans are clear and (as far
- as I know) legal.

- ftp.eff.org:pub/academic/policies/mu.edu.critique
- =================
- Critique of Policy on Authorized Use of M.U. Public Computer Systems. Marquette
- University is a private religious university.
-
- Computer Services presupposes that anyone it accuses of misuse is in
- fact an offender. It sounds as if a user could be permanently expelled
- from the system without ever having a chance to speak, without the
- chance of a formal hearing, and without an opportunity to appeal.
