Abstract

University students, faculty, and staff have expressed concern about access to pornography on campus computers. This study is aimed at finding out the perceptions of university information technology officers regarding access to pornography on their campuses. Current literature on the subject of Internet pornography viewed in an open place acknowledges that it is indeed a problem. Current legal precedent indicates that universities can regulate computer use, although current methods for regulating online pornography transmissions are varied and controversial. This study reports a survey of chief information officers at state public universities across the U.S. to discover current university policies and practices regarding what has come to be known as "appropriate computer use" as well as approaches to dealing with Internet pornography on campus.
