Financial Systems Confidentiality Statement
	Regarding University Information Resources


	Many staff and faculty members handle a variety of proprietary
and private information concerning colleagues, students, patients, alumni,
donors, and others associated with the University, as well as confidential
information regarding University business.  This material may include
(but is not limited to) payroll figures, personal data such as employee home
addresses, donor files or student records or University financial information. 

	It is the responsibility of all University employees to respect the
highest level of privacy for their colleagues and other members of the University
community. Disclosure and discussion of confidential information obtained from 
University, school or departmental records, either during or after employment
with the University, is impermissible unless such disclosure is a normal
requirement of an employee’s position and has been so authorized.
