The Information Security Task Force, made up of members from throughout the University Community and chaired by Shirley Baker, vice chancellor for information technology and dean of University Libraries, has crafted an information security policy to help maintain the security of University information. The policy has been approved by the Faculty Senate Council and the University Council.
The University's policy identifies key concerns and issues faced by the University community. It strives for a balance between the University's desire to promote and enhance the free exchange of ideas and its need for security of critical information and systems.
The information security policy explains the needs for information technology security, specifies the categories of such security, indicates the information technology security responsibilities and roles, and identifies appropriate levels of security through standards and guidelines. The policy establishes an overarching security policy and direction for the University. Individual schools and departments are expected to establish standards, guidelines and operating procedures that adhere to and reference this policy while addressing their specific and individual needs.

Hirschbeck, director of computing and information systems; Paul Schoening, interim director and associate dean of the School of Medicine library; Lori E. Fox, associate general counsel; Barbara A.
