What could happen if an individual in my department violates the Institutional Data policy?
Individual university community members who violate this policy may be denied access to institutional data resources and may be subject to other penalties and disciplinary action, both within and outside of the university. Alleged violations will normally be handled through the university disciplinary procedures applicable to the alleged violator. Violations of this policy by university units will be reported to unit management with recommendations for corrective measures. Uncorrected or repeated violations and recommendations for corrective action will be reported to the units higher management and may result in temporary or permanent denial of access to defined segments of institutional data.
