All Tisch faculty and staff must work in an ethical and respectful manner under these policies and procedures. In particular, please review the Policy on Responsible Use of NYU Computers & Data.
It is your responsibility as an NYU community member to be aware of these IT policies and procedures and the consequences of violation, regardless of whether you have actually read them.
NYU is entrusted with a large amount of important data, such as Social Security Numbers, Credit Card Numbers, student data and financial data. There are laws and regulations that restrict the use of this type of data, with significant legal and monetary penalties for exposure to unauthorized parties. The University has implemented Security Guidelines for Desktop and Laptop Computers to help you protect the data that is in your care.
Data and System Security Measures apply to anyone who accesses, uses, or controls University computer and data resources, including, but not limited to faculty, administrators, staff, students, those working on behalf of the University, guests, tenants, contractors, consultants, visitors and/or individuals authorized by affiliated institutions and organizations.
Security Guidelines for System Administrators serve as a guide for IT personnel to help them understand the obligations set forth in the Data and System Security Measures.
The Code of Conduct: IT@NYU applies to all covered individuals, including student employees, as well as to all others who work in information technology and related areas at NYU as contractors, temporary staff, visitors, or in any other capacity, on a full-time or part-time basis; it does not form a contract. Failure on anyone’s part to comply with these standards may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal, as well as referral, as appropriate, to authorities for legal action. NYU IT reserves the right to amend this Code of Conduct: IT@NYU at any time and without notice, in its sole, good faith, discretion.
It is your responsibility as an NYU community member to know and abide by IT and NYU policies, regardless of whether you have actually read them. It is therefore a good idea to familiarize yourself with the full list of the policies and other information.
