Chapter VII
Information Resources
General Statement: Information Resources P02.07.01
Within the limits of facilities, resources, and personnel,
the university will establish, through Regent's Policy,
University Regulation, and MAU rules and procedures, a
framework for access to, and the responsible use of,
university information resources.
Information Resources Definitions P02.07.02
A. Information Resources
Information resources include the electronic equipment systems
and networks owned, leased, or operated by the university, as well
as the software and data resident on the electronic equipment,
systems and networks.
B. User
A user is an individual (including but not limited to students,
faculty, staff and affiliates) who has agreed to comply with
rules governing access to and use of information resources.
Objectives for Management of Information Resources P02.07.03
Information resources will be managed in a manner that will:
A. reasonably protect against misrepresentation, tampering,
destruction and/or theft of intellectual efforts;
B. maintain the integrity of university information resources;
C. allocate finite resources based on prioritized needs; and
D. respect First Amendment rights.
The president may promulgate regulations to implement the objectives
of this policy.
Access P02.07.04
Access to information resources will be provided to university
faculty, staff, students, and affiliates to further the university's
mission of instruction, research and public service. Access to
information resources will be granted based on relevant factors,
including legal and contractual obligations, privacy, the
requester's need to know, information sensitivity, and risk of
damage to or loss by the university.
Standards for User Conduct P02.07.05
Users will:
A. obtain proper authorization to use information resources;
B. use information resources in a responsible manner, which
includes respecting the rights of other users, the integrity of
the controls and physical facilities, and compliance with
license or contractual agreements, Regents' Policy, University
Regulation, and local, state, and federal law; and
C. minimize disruption or threat to the viability of information
resources, both those at the university and those to which the
university's systems are connected.
Protection and Enforcement P02.07.06
A. Protection
The university will establish procedures designed to protect
information resources from inappropriate disclosure,
misrepresentation, unauthorized access, alteration, or
destruction, whether such is deliberate or unintentional.
The university does not, however, undertake responsibility for
protecting individuals against the existence or receipt of
material that may be offensive to them or harmful to equipment,
software or data.
The university will establish procedures for securing its
information
resources to a reasonable and economically feasible degree against
unauthorized access or abuse.
B. Enforcement
Violations of the standards for user conduct (1) may subject
employees to disciplinary action including termination,
(2) may subject students to disciplinary action including
expulsion according to the Student Code of Conduct procedures,
and (3) may also subject violators to criminal prosecution.
All users should be aware that violations of copyright laws
may also subject them and/or the University to substantial
legal liabilities. Information Resources personnel may implement
measures to protect against disruption or damage to the
University's information systems or alleged or perceived
violations of copyright laws, including temporary revocation
of access and other protective action.
Information Resources personnel at the University may access the
content of electronic communications and copy and examine any files
or other information resident on or processed through University
systems as appropriate to address a malfunction, maintain the
efficient operation of the system or avoid potential legal
liability. To the extent practicable, information accessed
and/or reviewed pursuant to this paragraph will be kept
confidential by Information Resources personnel. If, however,
the director of Information Resources (or the person fulfilling
that function) concludes that files resident on or processed
through University systems suggest the possibility of a
violation of Regents' Policy, University Regulation or law,
such information may be disclosed to University personnel or
law enforcement authorities without a search warrant.
The University and its employees will incur no liability for
damages for disclosure of information in accordance with,
or in violation of, this policy.
Administrative Responsibilities P02.07.07
An MAU may establish rules and procedures to define
conditions and enforcement mechanisms for use of information
resources under its control. MAU statements must be consistent
with this policy and any implementing regulation and published
in a manner reasonably designed to make these conditions known
to users.
The university reserves the sole right to limit, restrict or
extend access to its information resources.
No Rights of Actions Against the University P02.07.08
Nothing in this policy or implementing regulation is intended
to create, extend or support any claim or cause of action
against the university.
