University Administration

UNIV 1.52 Responsible Use of Data, Technology, and User Credentials

Changing the word “promotes” to “requires” to prepare for configuration standardization across university devices. This means systems and access settings will follow consistent, centrally managed standards rather than individual or departmental preferences. Using “requires” clarifies that following the Principle of Least Privilege—giving people only the access they need to do their jobs—is not optional. This change helps protect university data and ensures consistent security practices across all areas.
