transfer copyrighted materials. For
students caught up in this, it is their
responsibility to keep it from hap
pening by disabling the software,”
Moseley said in an interview. “This
is against the University’s policy,
but it is also a violation of the law.”
The University’s Network Ser
vices has investigated 391 cases of
violations of the federal copyright
infringement law this school year.
As a result, 136 students were dis
connected from the network from
Oct. 19 through 25. And Network
Services then referred 73 cases of
acceptable use violations to Stu
dent Judicial Affairs.
Sluggish network performance
gave the network personnel reason
to investigate the misuse of band
width. Network Services checked
its database for the top 50 band
width users and reviewed those
files for illegal material. When ille
gal material was found, those users
were disconnected from the net
work, and staff informed them to
contact the Office of Student Con
duct on the status on their connec
tion. Once the case was closed by
the Office of Student Conduct, the
connection was reactivated. Offi
cials said this investigative process
will continue in the future.
Moseley’s e-mail said the appli
cations, such as Kazaa and Mor
pheus, are not illegal, but the up
loading of files and sharing
copyrighted material is illegal.
“These programs are not illegal
themselves, but they may be mis
used in the illegal downloading
and distribution of copyrighted
music and other copyrighted mate
rial, such as movies, images or soft
ware,” the e-mail said.
Students have complained they
were not officially warned before
their network connections were
turned off.
“Now the warning is out there,”
said Norm Myers, Computing Ser
vices coordinator for the residence
halls. “Students who are found in
violation from now on will be se
verely dealt with and could lose
their computer privileges indefi
nitely.”
However, Mike Eyster, director of
University Housing, said his de
partment is implementing a
process so that students don’t have
to wait as long for reactivation. Pre

viously, students had to wait to re
gain service until their case with
the Office of Student Conduct was
resolved. Now, prior to closure of
their case, students can regain serv

they will not download copyright

work and that they will remove any
such material.

Ballot measure funding for groups
at public universities came into
question in March 2000. That
month, the U.S. Supreme Court
ruled in Board of Regents v. South
worth that groups can receive stu
dent incidental fep money only if it
is dispersed in a way that is “view
point neutral.”
According to the Supreme Court,
the ballot is not viewpoint neutral
because the opinion of the majority
determines whether the measure
passes.
Because of possible legal implica
tions for the University, University
General Counsel Melinda Grier told
members of ASUO they needed to
put a measure on the ballot to change
the current system for groups to re
ceive funding, Brooklyn said.
Chief justice of the Constitution
Court Sara Pirk, who wrote the
opinion of the court, said the three
page measure was too long and
complex to be understood by the
average student voter.
Justice Michael Harris added in a
concurring opinion that “it seems
as though the drafters purposefully
threw a great deal of incongruous
details together in the hopes that
something will appear attractive to
the casual reader.”
Brooklyn said the length and com
plexity of the measure was not in
tended “to sway the voters in any
way.”
“We were dealing with a really
complex issue,” she said.
Although the measure won’t go
on the ballot, Brooklyn said groups
are aware of the legal uncertainty of
ballot measure funding. She said
she does not know of any group
that plans to request funding by
ballot this year.
The other measure denied by the
Constitution Court would have es
tablished a process for groups to
“realign” themselves within anoth
er budget.
The measure would have poten
tially allowed a group included in
the EMU budget to move into the
ASUO Programs Finance Committee
budget, which includes student
unions and ASUO sponsored pro
grams.
Student Sen. Mary Elizabeth
Madden, who helped write the
measure, said controversy arose
last year over whether some stu
dent-run groups included in the
EMU budget, such as the Cultural
Forum, would be more appropri
ately placed in the PFC budget.
The Clark Document does not
provide any guidelines for the re
alignment process or what criteria
would have to be met before a
group could move into another
budget, she said.
Pirk, who delivered the opinion
of the court, said the measure was
denied because it did not specify
what requirements would have to
be met for the realignment process.
Brooklyn said members of student
government may revise the rejected
measures for the spring election.
The Constitution Court did ap
prove a measure that, if it passed,
will allow the PFC to increase its
budget by as much as 80 percent to
include programs no longer going
to the ballot for funding.
The court also accepted a meas
ure that would require approval of
the ASUO Student Senate for the
EMU Board to spend more than 20
percent of EMU reserve funds. Both
measures will be voted on in the
special election next week.
