EDUCAUSE, higher education’s leading association for information technology, and Cornell University have developed the EDUCAUSE/Cornell Institute for Computer Policy and Law (ICPL). The institute’s formation comes at a time when colleges and universities are aligning their information technology policies with evolving legislation and cybersecurity initiatives. The Institute combines the association’s extensive policy initiatives, online resources and professional development activities with Cornell’s robust six-year-old Computer Policy and Law program.

The ICPL Web site features a library of nearly 750 institutional computing policies, gathered by the combined resources of the Cornell program and EDUCAUSE. Library resources are searchable by topic, keyword and type of institution. Additional policy-related resources in the EDUCAUSE library are organized under such topics as acceptable use, copyright/intellectual property, data retention, e-mail, privacy and security.
