This standing committee includes members from the following constituencies: university counsel, policy, police, audit, libraries, health services; offices of budget, student affairs and academic services, human resources, judicial administration, university and alumni relations; student assemblies, faculty senate, central computing directors, network administration; single port system administration; OIT security; and CIT security and abuse, systems and operations, integration and delivery, ResNet, and documentation.
