The document goes on to state that disorderly, lewd, indecent, defamatory, or obscene conduct or expression or conon college-owne- d trolled property or at or college- -sponsored supervised functions or events is also prohibited. While pornography isnt necessarily banned from campus, looking at it has the ability to offend other students, and therein lies the problem. Don Reid, director of campus security, said there is no law prohibiting a student from accessing pornographic materials on school property, but a student can still be arrested. If a student breaks DSC policy, then they can be trespassed, Reid said. In other words, security can effectively arrest a student for being on campus and not adhering to campus rules. If in the course of viewing pornography another student is offended, the person who is accessing that material can be reprimanded and possibly arrested for sexual harassment. Kari Goulding, a senior integrated studies major from Orderville, works as a lab technician in the Val A. Browning Library computer lab. She said that when a student is caught viewing pornographic materials on site, the computer, date and time are recorded. Goulding said the account information can be accessed later.
