IT can then identify the users and their access is terminated until they sign a document promising to comply with university code and federal guidelines. Repeat offenders are sent to the Dean of Students' Office for discipline. "[The discipline] seems to have been working a little bit, but it hasn't decreased the number of notifications we're receiving," Noll said. Currently, IT receives between 15 and 20 notifications every day regarding peer-topeer sharing. Those numbers fluctuate depending on whether classes are in session, but even when students are on holiday, IT receives warnings. "I would say the lowest would be io," Noll said. "We EQUITY Continued from page 1 for students to apply to a certain college, they also need to complete their degree. Through available financial and educational 3 always see it." Nevertheless, the system does seem to be working. Lori McDonald, associate dean of students, said she only sees two or three repeat offender cases per year. Each case is dealt with on an individual basis. For students, facing a disciplinary council is a serious matter and it's sure to show up on their permanent record. "Thankfully, we don't have many of them," McDonald said. Illegal downloading falls into the same category as many other student misdemeanors that qualify as violations of the student code of conduct, such as getting caught with alcohol on campus. "In very serious cases or cases of repeat offenses, it can lead to suspension or dismissal from the universi- ty, not to mention other ramifications," McDonald said. The discipline is usually a matter of making students aware of the situation and the rules, McDonald said. The U cracks down so federal agencies don't have to. "It's a university policy, but we're complying with federal guidelines," Noll said. The U can also get into trouble for students who misuse their servers. "There's fines associated with it, and actually the users can be subject to fines as well," Noll said. "It's preventive for them too ... It can be a ridiculous amount of money." Statutory damages can rack up to $30,000. Criminal penalties for internet piracy could mean paying $250,000 — or jail time. a.drysdale@ chronicle.utah.edu The U continues to strictly enforce regulations on those caught illegally downloading over campus networks. resources and information, institutions must partner with individual students on the responsibility of graduation. "These aren't just student IDs," Ledesma said. "These are individuals. When you have more access, more stu- dent graduations, that actually helps the public, not just the individual." Ledesma also said it is important to have diverse faculty members who can share similar experiences with students from differing backgrounds and remind them they have a place. However, Hunter said the actual structure of higher education, which is typically gender-biased, majority dominant and almost like a military hierarchy, undermines the achievement of educational support and access.

Why do you get to pick part of the Bible but completely ignore other parts?" The center decided to leave the poster up as a reminder of the discrimination LGBT people still face. Shepard, who self identifies as bisexual, said most people do not focus enough on some of the minority groups within the LGBT population. "I think in general the B and the T in LGBT get lost," Shepard said. "There is a lot of focus on the L and the G, which is great and we need that, but I think that we need to lump in the B and the T together ... Bisexuals are kind of lost in the shuffle." Velarde said not addressing bigotry and intolerance is not the answer. "Discrimination is always discouraging and it's always heartfelt, but you have to do something with it," Velarde said. c.wallace@ chronicle.utah.edu MICHAEL SYGNATOWICZ/The Daily Utah Chronicle difficult to support communities with such a structure, she said. "We really have to think about how we invite the community into the space," Hunter said. "We as a higher education community need to think about how we really need to break down those walls." More residents and parents should take part in higher education, such as teaching assistants or co-instructors, Hunter said. a.plummer@ chronicle.utah.edu Deals for food, entertainment and everything else for students, faculty and staff at the University of Utah.
