Lyon Labs Bump Policy According to Lyon computer lab policy, computing equipment usage is intended for College-authorized educational purposes. Even so, some purposes have a higher priority than others. This policy describes the way these priorities will affect access to lab equipment. When a Lyon College student needs access to a workstation to do academic work and all stations in the lab are in use, the student may request that the lab supervisor bump someone. The lab supervisor will use the following priorities for determining who to bump. Those listed first will be asked to vacate their seats first, etc.
Lyon College students engaged in academic work will not be asked to leave, regardless of classification. If more than one users fits into a category, the lab supervisor will first ask for a volunteer from the group and then employ some impartial method (such as flipping a coin or supervising a round of paper/scissors/rock, etc.) of determining who is to be bumped. The lab supervisor will not attempt to determine whether users are representing themselves correctly as to student classification or nature of work being done. Honesty will be assumed. However, students should understand that failure to surrender a workstation to another student needing it for academic work may be committing an honor code violation. |
