I am curious how you figure he STOLE resources? That 59 cents an email crap
unless they are using a burstable bandwidth provider all the ones i have
seen is that
you get 1 solid rate that is yours to use. Now if they were using a
burstable bandwidth provider ok nail his ass. But if it was bandwidth that
was just going to waste then
and it was not putting an unacceptable load on the network then it was fine.
And violating university policy ok he did do that and should be fired for
that but not fined that is just silly.
