Administrative Procedures Handbook
Appropriate Use Procedures
- Use only those computing resources that they are authorized to use and use them only in the manner and to the extent authorized.
Individual positions must be analyzed to determine the potential
vulnerabilities associated with work in those positions. The WIU Internal
Auditing office, working in cooperation with the various electronic services
administrators, has designated specific computer positions (both Civil Service
and Administrative/Professional) as requiring background checks prior to
employment, due to the sensitive and/or extensive access personnel in these
positions have to our computerized information systems. It may also be
appropriate for certain divisions to designate locations as sensitive and to
require appropriate procedures and safeguards for all employees whose duties
include access to those areas (e.g. the Morgan Data Center).
Upon termination of a
person who occupies a position of special trust or responsibility, or is
working in a sensitive area, management shall immediately revoke all access
authorizations to computing resources.
- Users
must not make unauthorized attempts to circumvent the security mechanisms
of any university system.
- Users
must not attempt to degrade system performance or capability, or attempt
to damage systems, software or intellectual property of others.
- Users
must avoid unauthorized viewing or use of another person's computer files,
programs, accounts, and data.
- All
new employees and student workers must have computer security awareness
training. The University shall also provide an ongoing awareness and
training program in information security and in the protection of computer
resources for all personnel whose duties bring them into contact with

not limited to training related to ethics, FERPA, HIPAA, GLBA, PCI, Red
Flag and the Identity Protection Act.
