Using obscene language
Harassing, insulting, or attacking others
Damaging computers, computer systems or computer networks

Intentionally wasting limited resources
Employing the network for commercial purposes

Additional disciplinary action at the building level in line with existing practice regarding inappropriate language or behavior
When applicable, involvement of law enforcement agencies
