Fraudulent Use
It is unlawful to obtain or attempt to obtain telecommunication services by use of a false, fictitious or counterfeit number.
It is unlawful to charge telephone calls to the telephone number or credit number of another person without valid authority.
Avoiding or attempting to avoid payment for telecommunication services by use of any fraudulent scheme, device, means or method
is prohibited by law and by University regulations. Criminal prosecution and/or University disciplinary action may be taken.
Harassing Calls
The use of profane, indecent or threatening language to any person over the telephone, annoying or harassing by repeated telephoning,
or making certain false statements over the telephone is prohibited by law. A false report concerning destructive devices
is unlawful. Criminal prosecution and/or University disciplinary action may be taken.
Telephone Attachments
Departments and students may attach answering machines and fax machines to the BGSU telephone system if they meet the following
requirements:
-
All such equipment must be FCC registered.
-
The owner must advise Information Technology Services of the registration number if Information Technology Services Services
requests it.
-
It is the owner's responsibility to determine if the equipment is compatible.
Other equipment may be added with, and only with, the prior written approval of the director of Information Technology Services.
If difficulties in such equipment, or in use of such equipment, result in a service call, the student/department will be responsible
for reimbursing Information Technology Services for the service call at the current rate. Therefore, when there is trouble
with such a device, we suggest that the owners disconnect their equipment before placing a service call and try their line
with a standard University phone to see if the problem is with the telephone services or with the equipment.
The University will not be responsible for damage done to private equipment attached to its telephone system. If said equipment
is found to be "incompatible" or causes problems, the student/department will be asked to remove the device. If not removed
by the student/department, Information Technology Services has the right to take action to remove immediately the problem
device.
This policy constitutes prior approval as required by the Student Code if the equipment connected complies to the policy.
