Grinnell College supports the free expression and exchange of ideas and opinions and hopes that users of its computer systems will actively explore the possibilities of electronic publication on the World Wide Web. The College encourages students, faculty, and staff to create and publish WWW pages through its servers, believing that such creative work develops analytical and imaginative thinking, critical independence, and respect for intellectual and social diversity.

Since members of the College are free to express their views, even ones with which the College as a whole officially disagrees or on which it takes no official position, the College takes no responsibility for the contents of the pages published by individual users. The College does not regularly monitor or censor users' pages.

However, the College intends that its computing facilities be used towards the achievement of the educational goals mentioned above, and specifically disclaims any intention to annoy, abuse, libel, threaten, or harass anyone, individually or collectively, or to violate applicable state or federal laws. The College advises authors of WWW pages distributed through College servers of the legal and moral responsibilities that accompany the exercise of the right to free speech and expects members of the College comunity to recognize and accept these responsibilities.
