Willie Hagan, Vice President for Administration
Subject: Information Security Committee
Chair Bedell
explained at the last Senate meeting, Senator Shapiro asked to remove the
Information Security Committee from the Consent Calendar and requested the Senate
be briefed on this new committee and how it relates to the Senate Information
Technology Committee.
Senator Hagan
explained university information security has become a huge issue, not just
here, but around the country. CSU policy requires that each campus develop
policies relating to information security in terms of policies, procedures,
protecting equipment and securing data itself.
Selected
information security legal requirements are:
§
Family Education Rights & Privacy Act is a federal law
protecting the privacy of student education records.
§
§
Title 5, California Code of Regulations includes principles
of personal information management.
§
California Civil Code/Senate Bill 25 limits the
§
§
Gramm-Leach-Bililey Act (GLBA) requires clear disclosure by
all financial institutions of their privacy policy regarding the sharing of
non-public personal information with both affiliates and third parties.
§
Health Information Portability & Accountability Act
(HIPPA) establishes national standards for electronic health care transactions
and national identifiers for providers, health plans and employers. Also addresses the security and privacy of
health data.
§
CSU Information Security Policy requires the University to
develop and maintain a written set of security policies and procedures that at
a minimum implement information security, confidentiality practices consistent
with these policies; and end user responsibilities for the physical security of
the equipment and the appropriate use of hardware, software, and network
facilities.
Due to the
extensive task involved, Senator Hagan formed an Information Security Advisory
Committee which Mike Parker co-chairs and Bill Barrett also serve on. Recommendation
to place three faculty on this committee was Senator Hagan’s attempt to make
sure to get input from the faculty, not to mention that this project requires a
lot of advice and guidance from people from around the campus.
It was m/s/p [Nanjundappa/Gilbert] to approve
nominees Samuel Yang, Elizabeth Housewright and Joe Weber to serve on the
Information Security Committee.
The meeting adjourned at 12:12 p.m.
