    POLICY STATEMENT
     
    Today, information technology (IT) permeates all aspects of teaching, learning, research,
    outreach, and the business and facilities functions of the College. Safeguarding information and
    information systems is, therefore, essential to preserving the ability of the College to perform its
    missions and meet its responsibilities to students, faculty, staff, and the constituents whom it serves.
    Federal and State statutes, rules, and regulations, State OIT Policies and standards, Louisiana Board
    of Regents policies, Louisiana Community and Technical Colleges System (LCTCS) policies and
    other explicit agreements also mandate the security of information and information systems. Failure
    to protect the College's information technology assets could have financial, legal, and ethical
    ramifications.
     
    In accordance with the Louisiana Community and Technical College System Use of
    Technology Resources Policy Statement, use of Delgado Community College computer resources
    is limited to the College’s faculty, staff, currently enrolled students, and authorized guests, for
    legitimate academic and business purposes consistent with the College's mission. In fulfilling this
    mission, the College is committed to providing a secure yet open network that protects the integrity
    and confidentiality of information resources while maintaining its accessibility.
     
    To accomplish this, the College has developed a comprehensive Information Technology
    Security Policy document, which constitutes a College-wide security policy to address security
    issues related to the safety and integrity of information maintained on Delgado’s computerized
    information systems through technology resources. This extensive document has been developed
    under the direction of the Information Systems Council. The Information Systems Council is
    charged with updating the IT Security Policy as needed, while the Assistant Vice Chancellor/ Chief
    Information Officer and the Office of Information Technology staff are responsible for
    administering the provisions of the policy.
