Computing Planning & Policies
Policies
Policies governing the use of Reed's technology resources are developed by the Computing Planning and Policy Committee. A policy is a high-level, formal statement that defines Reed’s position, goals, or principles related to a specific area. It serves as a required and enforceable framework that aligns with Reed’s objectives and most often regulatory requirements.
