=====IIT Policy Announcement=====
//October 30, 2008//
New IIT Copyright Infringement Policy
Provisions in the Higher Education Act of 2008 require universities to implement programs to effectively combat the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material. In order to comply with this federal mandate, as has been previously reported, the Dean of Students will be enforcing a new disciplinary procedure for computer users for whom the University receives a copyright infringement (DMCA) notices. If IIT receives a DMCA notice from a content owner, then the person to whom the IP address and/or computer system is registered and to which such notice is attached, will be charged with violating the University's Use of Computer Resources Policy and the Code of Conduct set forth in the Student Handbook, and he or she will be subject to disciplinary procedures.
You should read these disciplinary procedures, which are contained in the Student Handbook under the heading "Disciplinary Proceedings Regarding Receipt of Digital Millennium Copyright Act Notice".
Finally, please note that IIT is not policing the internet usage of students; rather, these procedures are in place to respond to the University's receipt of DMCA notices.

Dean of Students
