I. At 8:30 a.m. - Carmen Rahm re: CWU Technology Appropriate Usage Policy
Mr. Rahm explained the there is only one change in the policy. They would like to add a section regarding data network connections that states:
Devices which extend the network such as but not limited to hubs, switches, bridges, routers and access points or computers functioning as such may not be connected to the CWU data network. Such devices are connected by the Networks and Operations department within Information Technology Services only. Users (students, faculty, and staff) may connect computers and printers to the CWU network.
The group approved the addition to this policy. It will now go to President's Advisory Council for final approval.
