The purpose of this policy is to provide an overall context for the creation, maintenance and use of University information resources. The University will ensure that information is kept safe from loss, and secure from interference of unauthorized or improper access, while delivering it, as required, for the University's business. All participants in information resources will have clear responsibilities. The University's information resources will be developed in conformity with University standards. The administration of an information resource is a partnership of custodians, managers and customers.
Custodians are responsible for creating an information resource.
Managers are responsible for managing and administering an information resource according to rules set by the Custodian. Customers need to use an information resource for a stated purpose. The use of information resources must conform to such requirements. The loss of corruption of University information could result in serious problems for the University's operation and financial losses. Information must be protected against accidental loss.
