Campus Policy and Law

Federal Policy and Law

State Policy and Law

Information technology policy is impacted by a wide range of perspectives from international, national, state, and campus levels. This resource page underscores the connections among these different levels and how international organizations, Congress, federal agencies, state governments, and the courts all play a role in shaping IT policy and law, as well as why this matters to higher education. Campus policies, whether developed to comply with legal mandates or to formalize institutional norms and processes, are under constant development and review as a result of changes precipitated by the introduction of new information technologies.
