Information is one of the university's most valuable assets, and its value is increased through widespread and appropriate use. The university grants access to the greatest extent possible while recognizing the responsibility to secure data appropriately. Consistent with the university's obligation to preserve and protect such information by all appropriate means, access to information is made available only where there exists a valid business purpose.聽
The university, as the owner of all data, delegates responsibility for its oversight to the Chief Information Officer (CIO). The university provides these resources to support the academic and administrative functions of the institution, and it expects the responsible use of the same. All users of the university's information resources are expected to demonstrate the highest respect for the rights of others in their use of these resources. This policy defines these expectations to ensure that the use of data and information resources is safe, secure, and compliant with applicable laws.
