ARTICLE 16 - PERSONAL RIGHTS

1. Personal Life. The Board recognizes that the personal life of a faculty member is not an appropriate concern of the College unless it affects the member's job performance.

2. Privacy. The privacy of an employee's mailbox, office, email, phones, computer, and personal material shall be respected. No information from these sources shall be gathered, stored, or exchanged without explicit, timely, prior notice to the faculty member. Exceptions to such notice may be justified due to emergency situations and shall be limited as much as feasible and shall be reported as soon as feasible to the employee and the Association. Any breach of normal privacy in these circumstances shall be done with the cooperation of a third party.

3. Civic Life. Each faculty member is also a citizen of his or her nation, state, and community; and when he or she speaks, writes, or acts as such shall be free from institutional censorship.
