The computer center of Western Washington University serves the instructional, research, and administrative computing needs of the campus.

First priority for computer use shall be given the scholarly pursuits of the university's students and staff in research and instructional processes. The computer center may, at commercially competitive rates or for value received, sell services to noncampus clientele when, in the opinion of the director of the computer center,

(1) The sale will not in any way jeopardize, dilute or compromise the center's service to campus clientele, and

(2) Similar services are not available elsewhere in the community, and

(3) The service involves an appropriate, sensible, and nontrivial use of the computer relating to some university program or goal.

Application forms for computer services are available at the computer center. Large projects shall be brought to the center's attention at the earliest possible time in the planning stage.

The specified times of availability of center facilities will be determined by the director and posted in a conspicuous location in the computer center. The times of availability may vary from time to time as necessary, and shall provide for an orderly progression of data processing by which the academic, administrative, and instructional requirements receive processing and such schedules may be developed and projected to provide maximum utilization of the many areas of the data processing facility for the students, faculty and administration.

Application for computer services by any individual or agency customer shall be deemed a representation that such customer has established and is following procedures which protect the right of individuals to the privacy and confidentiality of records concerning them, regardless of whether or not such records are mechanized. Customers shall be responsible for providing such control procedures and mechanisms as are necessary to protect the confidentiality of any particular database.

The resources of the speech and audiology clinic of Western Washington University may be made available to persons in the region with hearing or speech defects. Applications for the use of such resources shall be made through the chairman of the department, or his or her designee, who may charge a fee for such service. The fee schedule shall be prominently posted in the office of the department.

(1) Employers or organizations (hereafter called employers) interested in hiring students or alumni, and recruiting personnel from college or university graduate schools may conduct recruitment activity on campus. These activities shall be coordinated by the career services center subject to the following conditions:

(a) Employers shall not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, pregnancy or parenting status, age, creed, religion, disability (including the use of a trained guide dog or service animal), veteran or military status, citizenship or immigration status (except as authorized by federal or state law, regulation, or government contract), and/or genetic information.

(b) Employers must comply with all university recruitment policies as listed on the career services center website.

(2) All prospective employers shall be free to present their points of view, and all students shall be free to determine whether they desire to listen to their presentations.
