RE: Your letter dated October 14, 2002 to Nick Aguilar regarding a complaint alleged hosting web sites of foreign terrorist organization on the burn.ucsd.edu web site.

Dear XXXX and XXXX,

I appreciate your confirmation, per your above referenced letter, that the Che Cafe collective is not hosting a the web sites of the FARC, PKK, or any other U.S. State Department designated Foreign Terroist [sic] Organizations,"FTO". Thank you for that confirmation.

You also ask for the further clarification regarding the legal implications on the use of UCSD computer resources in connection with redirecting or hosting activities in support of an FTO. In that regard, we would consider as unacceptable the use of UCSD computer resources for the business of housing, serving, and maintaining files for any FTO web site.

With respect to the points raised in your letter regarding the applicability of the MOU to the complaint that prompted this correspondence regarding this incident, please refer to my letter dated October 7, 2002 for UCSD's authority to act on complaints of alleged violations of Federal laws. Additionally, unless you receive a notice of charges from the UCSD Student Conduct Coordinator, you may assume that UCSD will take no further action on this matter.

Thank you for your timely and cooperative response in this matter.

Sincerely,

Nicholas S. Aguilar, Director
Student Policies and Judicial Affairs
