Monitoring is easy, you use too much surfing non work BYE.
Employment contract states if you sue us because of this, (and lose) you pay our lawyers fees + our time to deal with it !!! (and the lawyer is responsible if you can't pay, sorry I think LAWYERS should be responsible for frivoulous lawsuits, not just their clients. Which ins. cos don't even try for, much less file for)
I repeat strict (AND SPELLED OUT) and enforced usage policy.

This is interesting. The $$ I heard bandied about were that each of 13 colleges would have to pony up $500,000 to solve the bandwidth problem.
Seems the problems are related to our purchase of a $24 million dollar computer program used to operate all our registration/payroll/scheduling systems which is being bogged down by lack of bandwidth.
I'm IT ignorant.
