Lehigh University has and will continue to maintain the integrity and
security of institutional, proprietary, and confidential data entrusted
to it. This type of data includes, but is not limited to, student
records, personnel records, human subjects research records, financial
records (both institutional and personal), and even health care related
records. The sensitivity of this data is not only regulated by
University policies, but also by restrictions set by various federal
and state regulations. Lehigh University takes steps to limit access to
this information on a need to know basis. Only necessary access
to sensitive data is granted to those individuals who have undergone
proper training in the handling of such data and who have acknowledged
the confidentiality of the data. Anyone viewing, updating, or releasing
information of this type for other than officially authorized
University business could be held personally liable and subject to
criminal and civil penalties.
When accessing University information from an off campus location, the
computer used for said access effectively becomes an extension to the
University. As such, it must be maintained in a similar manner as on
campus computers with access to University information. While a full
policy on desktop computer security is currently still being developed,
at the minimum any computer used to access University information must
conform to the following standards:
- Antivirus software must be installed on the computer and must be set to
update daily.
- All security patches and updates to the operating system must be
installed as they become available.
- Any University information stored on the computer must be stored in an
encrypted format.
- Access to University information must be restricted to those
individuals properly authorized for said access.
- Prior to disposal of the computer in any manner (i.e., recycling or
given to someone else), the hard drive must be wiped as added insurance
that all University information has been removed from the system. If necessary,
please contact a computing consultant for assistance.
