Peer-to-Peer File Sharing Information
A copyright is a form of legal protection for creative works. Copyrights help to ensure that authors of creative works can control how those works are used and prevent others from capitalizing on, or using or distributing, the works without permission. The unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material such as songs, videos, games, textbooks, or other type of creative content, including through peer-to-peer file sharing, may subject students to serious criminal and civil penalties, so students and others need to understand what is and is not permissible when it comes to the downloading and distribution of creative materials.

Although using peer-to-peer file sharing technology in itself is not illegal, what you share and how you share it may violate the law. The laws that govern copyright are not specific to any one technology; you can violate the rights of a copyright holder using many different types of technology. Both uploading and downloading of copyrighted files can violate copyright law.

Federal Copyright Law
听Federal copyright law establishes a wide range of civil and criminal penalties for copyright infringement. For those who download or upload large numbers of songs, civil damages could reach into the millions of dollars. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) have pursued these monetary damages in lawsuits. Although to date criminal prosecutions of students for file sharing have been rare, potential civil and criminal penalties for peer-to- peer activity include:

• Statutory damages of up to $150,000 for each act of willful infringement (i.e., each song or movie illegally copied or distributed),
• Lower damages for acts of unintentional infringement.
• Pre-litigation settlements prior to filing lawsuits against students from $3,000 to $4,000 and up.
• Jury verdicts against file sharers in the hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars.
• Reasonable attorney fees to the copyright owner at the court鈥檚 discretion.
• Fines.

91直播 of Rome is prohibited, by federal law, from making false, erroneous, or misleading statements, directly or indirectly, to a student, prospective student, member of the public, accrediting agency, state agency, or to the U.S. Department of Education. Misleading statements are those that have the likelihood or a tendency to deceive or confuse the person to whom they are made. A statement is any communication whether it is made in writing, visually, orally, or through any other means of communication. Substantial misrepresentation is misrepresentation on which a person could reasonably be expected to rely, or has reasonably relied, to that person鈥檚 detriment.

Student Records Policies / Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA)
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) afford eligible students certain rights with respect to their education records. (An 鈥渆ligible student鈥� under FERPA is a student who is 18 years of age or older or who attends a postsecondary institution.)听 These rights include:

1. The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days after the day 91直播 of Rome receives a request for access. A student should submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official, a written request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect.听 The school official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the school official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.
2. The right to request the amendment of the student鈥檚 education records that the student believes is inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student鈥檚 privacy rights under FERPA. A student who wishes to ask the school to amend a record should write the school official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record the student wants changed, and specify why it should be changed. If the school decides not to amend the record as requested, the school will notify the student in writing of the decision and the student鈥檚 right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
3. The right to provide written consent before the university discloses personally identifiable information (PII) from the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.

A school official is a person employed by AUR in an administrative, supervisory, academic, research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person serving on the board of trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities for AUR. Upon request, the school also discloses education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.

(搂99.31(a)(15))

16. Grievances

It is not uncommon that students encounter problems during their university study. They may be academic or non-academic in nature. Students are encouraged to seek problem resolution as soon as possible. Problems, complaints and /or grievances may involve other students, staff, faculty or university policies or procedures. It is specifically recommended that in attempting to resolve a problem or dispute that the students be polite, be specific and follow the below guidelines.

With respect to NON-ACADEMIC issues, students should first contact the parties or offices directly involved in a frank, respectful way. (Ex: fellow student, staff member etc.). The focus should be as specific as possible. Issues that are vague are by nature harder to resolve. If this does not resolve or satisfactorily clarify the situation the student should then seek an appointment with a staff member of the Office of Student Life. In the event this does not resolve any dispute or provide a satisfactory understanding of the situation, the student should write the Dean of Students requesting an appointment. The communication should describe clearly the nature of the problem, the names of any persons or offices involved and importantly a description of any previous efforts made to resolve the problem. The Dean of Students does not serve as the initial point of reference with respect to the resolution of student non-academic issues. Students are also reminded the student government of AUR (AURSG) is an active campus governance organization. The AURSG routinely holds meetings and open forums and this student organization has often assisted its constituents with problem resolution.

However, not all complaints can be resolved one on one. 91直播 of Rome has created an online process by which a student can file a formal complaint. Complaints placed in writing on this form will be directed to the person who can most appropriately address the complaint. Students will be contacted if additional information is needed and notified of the actions taken regarding the complaint.
