Abstract
Successful implementation of an effective information, data, and system "security blanket" for higher education institutions requires recognition of and action upon the cultural, political, and regulatory fronts. Data stewards; policy makers; central and departmental IT staff; and students, faculties, and staff members all have a role to play. This bulletin is based on the research of current IT security literature and on interviews with representatives from multiple campuses. It offers a broad survey of the current nontechnical issues facing higher education as it attempts to secure information assets and systems.
