UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT
ADMINISTRATIVE DATA USE POLICY
The data contained in the University of Vermont's Administrative Information
Systems(1)
constitutes a valuable institutional resource. If you are authorized toview
or report data from an administrative information system, you may use that
data to allow you to perform your assigned duties and responsibilities
in an efficient and effective manner, with the following caveats:
- It is a moral, as well as legal, obligation to respect individuals'
rights of privacy, and anyone using institutional data assumes this responsibility.
- Authorization is granted to you as an individual. It does not imply
that you can release data to a third party or that you can grant access
to anyone else. Public disclosure must be approved by the responsible central
office.
- Your authorization is for a subset of the university's administrative
data, and does not imply that you have access to all administrative data.
- It is your responsibility to provide for the physical security of the
data, including proper confidentiality and integrity.
- It is your responsibility to verify the correctness of any data transfer,
manual or electronic.
- The official university records are those maintained by central offices.
It is your responsibility to reconcile all discrepancies if your data does
not match that maintained centrally.
- University-wide decisions are made based on analyses provided by various
central offices. These analyses will continue to take precedence over work
done by other offices.
- Offices granting access to administrative data may establish policies
covering individual information systems.
- Authorizations must be renewed annually.
Inappropriate or unauthorized access or use of data could result
in disciplinary action up to and including termination.
I understand and agree to abide by the policy stated above.
