           OFFENSIVE MATERIALS IN SHARED SPACES

The library is a public place and the viewing or printing of sexually or violently explicit material may create a hostile working or learning environment, which violates University policies.  In keeping with the PLU Computer Use Policy, we expect users to be sensitive to this matter. The viewing or printing of sexually or violently explicit materials may be grounds for immediate expulsion from this library facility. 

 

Violations of any of these policies are subject to referral to the appropriate University offices.  The University reserves the right to limit access to the campus and its resources.
