Policies

Campus Information Technology Security Policy

In order to fulfill its mission of teaching, research, and public service, the campus is committed to providing a secure yet open network that protects the integrity and confidentiality of information while maintaining its accessibility. Each member of the campus community is responsible for the security and protection of electronic information resources over which they have control. Resources to be protected include networks, computers, software, and data. The physical and logical integrity of these resources must be protected against threats such as unauthorized intrusions, malicious misuse, or inadvertent compromise. Activities outsourced to off-campus entities must comply with the same or equivalent security requirements as in-house activities.

Privacy and Online Monitoring

Defines requirements for notice, analysis, review, and approval of routine monitoring practices. If monitoring involves electronic communications, the escalation process for non-routine use of monitoring data must meet the requirements of the systemwide Electronic Communications policy.

Major Events Hosted by Non-Departmental Users

This policy places terms and conditions on the hosting of events by individuals other than current employees of the University of California acting within the course and scope of University employment and organizations other than academic and administrative departments of the University of California ("non-department users"). These terms and conditions include obtaining written permission from the campus to host Major Events.

Campus Online Activities Policy

Establishes policy for areas not addressed by other existing policies, related to the use of electronic resources.

Privacy Statement for UC Berkeley Websites

Ensures that campus websites and servers do not actively share (re-distribute or sell) personally-identifiable information that they may collect

Email Service Policy

Campus Email Service supplies email and mailing list services in support of the University's mission of education, research and public service and to conduct the University's business. Access to and use of Campus Email Service is a privilege accorded at the discretion of the University. Use of campus email service is subject to legal and policy restrictions that apply to all University property and by constraints necessary for the reliable operation of electronic communication systems and services. The Berkeley Campus reserves the right to deny access to use campus email service when necessary to satisfy these restrictions and constraints.

Disclosure of Information from Student Records

Establishes process and conditions applying to the disclosure of student records, in conformity with the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and University Policy.

Golf Carts and Other Small Motorized Vehicles

To maintain a safe, accessible campus, the use of golf carts and other small motorized vehicles is subject to the conditions set forth in this policy.

Vacant Space

Space Management and Capital Programs (SMCP) is responsible for the overall management of vacant campus spaces. SMCP works with Environment, Health and Safety (EH&S), Campus Police (UCPD), Capital Projects (CP), and Physical Plant-Campus Services (PPCS) to develop and implement plans for the proper security and maintenance of vacant space. Former occupants must develop and implement a plan for the removal of all moveable items and waste (including hazardous waste) to ensure the spaces they vacate are in broom clean condition. Vacating units should be prepared to fund the cost of their move, although a campus contribution for some moves may be appropriate and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Units that fail to adhere to approved vacancy plans will be moved by the campus and charged a 25% premium.

Research Space for Emeriti

The highest priorities for space in academic departments are offices for regular faculty, research space for regular faculty, and offices for administrators, graduate student instructors, lecturers, and temporary teaching faculty. Space is also used for study facilities, computer rooms, departmental shops, commons, and other special uses that support particular departmental needs. Of necessity, the assignment of research space to emeritus professors is discretionary and it should not adversely affect the quantity or quality of research space provided for regular faculty members.
