Purpose:
The purpose of this statement is to set forth University policy with regard to access to the computing and information technology resources provided to a University employee upon the cessation of the employment relationship between the employee and the University.

Preamble: 
Computing and information technology resources are the property of Wichita State University and are to be used for the primary purpose of benefitting, enhancing and furthering the mission of the University (see Section 19.01 and Section 19.05).  When the employment relationship between a University employee and the University ends or is scheduled to end, whether the result of resignation, retirement or termination, or when a University employee changes positions and moves to another University department or unit, it is necessary and appropriate that the University have access to the computing and information technology resources provided to and made available to that employee to facilitate and permit the continuation of University business. 

Policy Statement:

1.  When the employment relationship between a University employee and the University ends or is scheduled to end, or when a University employee changes positions and moves to another University department or unit, the employee's supervisor will be given access to the computing and information technology resources provided to that employee.

2.  While not required, but as appropriate under the circumstances, and to the extent reasonably possible, information personal to the employee maintained or stored in University computing and information technology resources will be provided to the employee.

3.  A University employee or the employee's supervisor may ask the University's Chief Information Officer to provide access to the employee's computing and information technology resources to someone other than the employee's supervisor.

Implementation:
This policy shall be included in the WSU Policies and Procedures Manual and shared with appropriate constituencies of the University.

The Chief Information Officer shall have primary responsibility for publication, dissemination and implementation of this University policy.

Effective Date: 
February 1, 2006
