Policies
- University Policies
The University Policies web site is the official site for Mason's
university-wide policies. All of the ITU's university-wide policies appear on
that site; this ITU Policies page serves as a short cut to those
policies that deal specifically with ITU
matters.
- Data Stewardship
University Policy Number 1114 governs the privacy, security, and confidentiality of
university data, especially highly sensitive data, and the responsibilities of
institutional units and individuals for such data.
- Public Internet Address
University Policy Number 1304 requires that all computers that need a publicly
addressable Internet address be registered with the ITU. Allowing outside systems to
initiate connections to a University computer increases the University's risk to threats
from the Internet. Outside systems cannot successfully achieve such connections unless
the University computer is publicly addressable, i.e. has a Public Internet Address,
obtained either from the University or via a third party connection. The University
recognizes that there can be legitimate reasons for a University computer to be made
publicly addressable. This policy describes the process by which a department can receive
permission for a computer to be made publicly addressable.
- Responsible Use of Computing
University Policy Number 1301 applies to all University faculty, staff, students,
visitors and contractors. The University provides and maintains computing and
telecommunications technologies to support the education, research, and work of its
faculty, staff, and students. To preserve the security, availability, and integrity
of the University's computing resources, and to protect all users' rights to an open
exchange of ideas and information, this policy sets forth the responsibilities of
each member of the Mason community in the use of these resources.
- Telecommunications Spaces and Cabling
University Policy Number 1303 defines the roles and responsibilities
of the Information Technology Unit (ITU) and the University community
with respect to planning, installing, and maintaining communications
cabling within and between University occupied buildings.
- Telephone Use
Administrative Policy 2204 applies to all University faculty and staff,
including wage employees and contract employees, who have access to
the University telephone system and/or who have been issued a
University cellular telephone.
- Virginia's Internet and Systems Policy - Use
of the Internet and Electronic Communication System
This state policy describes the proper and legal use of the Internet and the state's
electronic communication systems for state agencies and their employees.
- Wireless Networking
University Policy Number 1302 governs wireless network devices utilizing George Mason
University Internet Protocol (IP) network space as well as services provided over
wireless connections to the campus. This policy defines the roles and
responsibilities of the Information Technology Unit (ITU) and the network user
community with respect to planning, deploying, and managing wireless technologies.
