MTU considers access to computer resources to be a privilege granted on the condition that each member of the University community uses these resources responsibly, and in accord with professional and university standards.

The Computer Use Policy describes MTU's computer resources, the responsibilities assumed by users of the system, the services provided to support and assist users, and professional and university standards that must be observed by all users of MTU's computer resources..

Michigan Tech's Department of Information Technology formed a Network Security Task Force (NSTF) to address issues relating to the current national crisis and the recent dramatic increase in Internet attacks.

• recommend a plan describing the objects and appropriate level of security for campus electronic resources.
• identify, prioritize and recommend action for security problems on campus
• define and maintain the requirements for campus-wide security plans.
