I have enjoyed reading the lively, although diverse, responses to the original question. Jim, I think what you were looking for was the letter from ACE President David Ward to all college and university presidents this past February (http://www.acenet.edu/washington/letters/2003/03march/cyber.cfm). The specific recommendation states: Establish responsibility for campus-wide Cybersecurity at the cabinet level. At a large university, this responsibility might be assigned to the Chief Information Officer. At a small college, this person may have responsibility for many areas, including the institutional computing environment. Additionally, the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace (www.securecyberspace.gov) states that "colleges and universities are encouraged to secure their cyber systems by establishing . . . model guidelines empowering Chief Information Officers (CIOs) to address cybersecurity" (A/R 3-5). Please let me know if you have any further questions. Rodney Petersen Project Director, Security Task Force EDUCAUSE ----------------------------------------------------------------------- At the Educause security professionals workshop, I believe that someone mentioned that a college/university presidents group had a task force which made the recommendation that a cabinet level position for Information Security be created at colleges/universities. Does anyone have a reference? Does anyone have the text of the report/recommendation letter?
