IT Policy Updates & Status

The Policy on the Management of Campus-wide Policies provides the framework that guides the IT Policy Program's operation, including policy writing, revision, and rescission. We collaborate closely with the UC Berkeley Campus Policy Office and the Systemwide University Policy Office to align our practices and processes.
