Colleagues,

Given increasing concerns and problems with secure computing at CFR and the UW, it is important to clarify service expectations for both our CFR Information Technology team and our users. A description of responsibilities for all users may be found in our updated computing policy statement located at:

www.cfr.washington.edu/computing/gettingstarted/rules.htm.

The policy, effective today, complies with UW computing guidelines and procedures. It collates information from various sources on regulations and guidelines for computing, describes the extent of support by the CFR Information Technology team, identifies supported hardware and software, recommends acquisition procedures for hardware and software, and covers miscellaneous issues involving printing, electronic storage, and getting help. Please review the policy at your convenience and direct questions and/or concerns to Marc Morrison (mmorriso@u.washington.edu). The policy will evolve as necessary. Thank you.

B. Bruce Bare, Dean
