the University and its dissemination and use should comply
with policies set by the University.
The University recognizes that access to
information facilitates better and faster decision making,
improves effectiveness, saves time, and most importantly
provides all university constituents with consistent and
up-to-date information. Therefore the University encourages
access to information by all its constituents as long as

the integrity and accuracy of the data, and protects individuals'
right to privacy.
While the University is the owner of the
information stored on its computers, the data custodian
is responsible for specific components of the information
repository. Data custodians are department directors or
chairs or their designees who have primary responsibility
for operating computer systems that manipulate logical
entities of the university's data base. Their responsibilities
include
- to authorize data access to users
- to enforce data security
- to prevent unauthorized dissemination of data
- to ensure data accuracy
- to authorize update, add, and delete data access privileges
