Acceptable Use Policy - Violation Consequences

The consequences of violating the AUP needs to be included. A school could list the consequences. A better approach would be to list the AUP violation and the penalty.

• Violations may result in a 
  • Loss of Internet access
  • detention
  • suspension
  • expulsion
  • paying for damages
     
• Illegal activities will be reported to the appropriate law enforcement agencies for investigation and prosecution

It might be appropriate for violators to have to pay for misusing the schools network resources. Misusing printer privileges could result in a misuse fee to recover the cost of paper, toner and printer maintenance.

There needs to be a statement about how a student should report inadvertent accesses to unacceptable materials without being penalized.
