Strohm claims that I "established and used alias accounts, such as focas@unc.edu, to conduct business for an organization with no University affiliation." This is false; I have not conducted business for anyone. The University's Policy on Use of Computer Facilities forbids "Any commercial or for-profit ventures (such as running a business using your campus web space, email account, or network access)"

FOCAS is NOT a "business"; it is a 501(c)(3) not for profit public charity, incorporated in North Carolina and (unnecessarily) registered with the NCSOS. and its bylaws say that it was "formed to help support and enhance the general operation of the Orange County Animal Shelter." Even if Villarosa's allegations were true (which they are not), it would not be a violation of University Policy. UNC resources have not been used to solicit funds but UNC resources ARE used to solicit funds for many organizations, for example
