E-mail (See Policy #6051)

Access to e-mail is a privilege, not a right.  Privacy of e-mail cannot be guaranteed.  As e-mail is intended primarily for business purposes, with limited personal use allowed, it is owned by UNMC and is intended for use in completing UNMC’s mission.  E-mail use is governed by Executive Memorandum No. 16, all applicable UNMC policies, including sexual harassment, patent and copyright, patient and student confidentiality, and student and employee disciplinary policies, as well as by applicable federal, state and local laws.  Users should be aware that if an act of misuse has occurred, or if there is reasonable belief that potential damage to systems is genuine and serious, the chief information office may access any account file or other data controlled by the alleged violator and share such information with persons authorized to investigate such incidents.
