John Ross will get clarification to see if Macintosh computers are included in this timeline. Information Security Plan (Felecia Vlahos) IT Security Office posted the Information Security Plan on the security.sdsu.edu website. The IT Security Office has developed a plan to assist colleges in getting their faculty onboard to be compliant with the plan. They will meet with the Academic Coordinators and IT staff of each college individually to obtain as much information about the college faculty and their individual situations. The goal is to develop a one page college-specific document, from their Dean, to give to every faculty member with instructions regarding “what you need to do to be compliant with the Information Security Plan”. The IT Security Office will also implement a campus marketing plan for the Information Security Plan.

It was noted that some of the links are out of date and should be updated.
