Editors’ Introduction

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 invaluable help and support: (in alphabetic order) Denice Botto, William Bowersox, Aline W.
