Background
Purpose
Authorization to access institutional data carries with it the responsibility to use the data for its intended purposes and not for personal gain or other inappropriate purposes. This data usage policy is intended to ensure the institutional data are used appropriately and in support of the fulfilling University mission and business objectives.
Issue/Problem
The data warehouses provide access to sensitive University data. Administrators are to exercise discretion when authorizing employee access to University data. University employees with a demonstrated “need-to-know” may access data warehouse information. Administrators are responsible for ensuring that authorized employees are aware of data security and usage requirements. (See Executive Policy EP8.)
