Information Security Policies for Macalester College (5-29-08) (pdf document)
This policy provides the primary framework for the management,
administration, integrity and effective use of the college’s ITS facilities
and services.
Policy on Response to Compromised
Computers (pdf document)
"Compromised computers" are those that have been infected by threatening
worms or viruses, or have been hacked. Compromised computers cause grave
threat to other computers sharing the network segment by emitting
interfering data and/or retransmitting worms and viruses. Computers can
be compromised unbeknownst to their owners if left without preventative
software. Macalester's response is outlined in the 'Response to
Compromised Computers' policy.
Policy on Response to Copyright
Violations (pdf document)
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act demands effective response by the
College when notified of potential violation. The College receives
complaints of apparent copyright violation from copyright owners and
their agents. These groups often scan the file-sharing networks looking
for such files. Macalester's response is outlined in the 'Response to
Copyright Notices' policy.
Policy on Response to Disruptive
Network Devices (pdf document)
"Wireless access devices" are units which, when plugged into our
network, emit a radio signal permitting properly equipped computers to
access the network. Misconfigured access devices sometimes mimic the
actions of central network control equipment and disrupt network access
by other users of the network segment, possibly an entire residence
hall. Macalester's response is outlined in the 'Response to Disruptive
Wireless Access Devices' policy.
