The National Conference on Computing and Values (NCCV) was
held on the campus of Southern Connecticut State University in August
1991. The Conference included six “tracks:” Teaching
Computing and Human Values, Computer Privacy and Confidentiality, Computer
Security and Crime, Ownership of Software and Intellectual Property, Equity
and Access to Computing Resources, and Policy
Issues in the Campus Computing Environment. Each track included
a major address, three to five commentaries, some small “working
groups,” and a packet of relevant readings (the “Track Pack”).
A variety of supplemental “enrichment events” were also included.
This monograph contains the proceeding of the “Policy
Issues in Campus Computing” track of NCCV. It includes the “track
address” with two commentaries, four enrichment papers, the conference
bibliography, and a report on the activities and findings of the small
working group on campus computing policies. The track address is “Computer
Ethics on Campus” by Leslie Burkholder; and the commentaries include:
“Making a Code of Ethics Work at Pimli College” by Sally Webster
and “Intricacy and Impacts of Computing Policies on University Campuses”
by T.C. Ting.
The enrichment papers include “Policy and Guidelines:
Some Comments as the University of Delaware’s Draft Responsible Computing
Policy Nears Approval” by Richard Gordon, “Recommended Guidelines
for Responsible Computing at the University of Delaware” by University
of Delaware Staff, “The Ethics of Evaluating Instructional Computing”
by Marvin J. Croy, and “Some Effects of Computer Technology on Human
Interaction and Individualization in the Teaching of Deductive Logic”
by Marvin J. Croy, Michael G. Green and James R. Cook.
Marvin J. Croy was the “Track Coordinator”
for this track, and the Appendix of this monograph is his report on the
activities and findings of the small working group of the track.
The National Conference on Computing and Values
was a major undertaking that required significant help from many people.
The Editors would like to express sincere thanks to the National Science
Foundation and the Metaphilosophy Foundation for support that made the
project possible. And we wish to thank the following people for their
