UM/UM-M IT Policies

New Policies Adopted April 2002

R.Ford - Associate Vice President for Information Technology - April 19, 2002

After extensive review in Missoula and on the other UM campuses (for those policies that cover all UM campuses) the UM/UM-M policies released for review in December 2001 have now been adopted, with only minor modifications to their original form. The policies below are best understood when classified into three groups:

Each of these policies was presented for review by the official campus IT advisory committees, plus faculty and student groups. In Missoula this included the IT Council, Academic IT Advisory Committee, Administrative IT Advisory Committee, Web Committee, and Student Computer Fee Committee; the Faculty Senate and/or its Executive Committee, and the University Faculty Association; and the ASUM. Comparable review for non-UM-Missoula specific policies took place on the other UM campuses. I believe that the final form, which has now been adopted, has addresses all the concerns that were voiced. Questions or comments should be sent to the IT Office.

For now I've continued to label the policies with the tentative designation (e.g., UM-IT-001, UMM-IT-004) given to them earlier. The policies are in the process of being prepared in "official policy" form, at which time they will be given an official designation and published both in the hardcopy policy manual and in the new on-line collection of policies. When the official on-line versions are available I'll change the links here to point directly to those versions. For now, I've included the final versions in tentative unofficial format, as downloadable Microsoft Word documents that include the original "Discussion" sections and other related materials. Printed copies are available upon request from the UM-M IT Office in Missoula.
