FACULTY & STAFF - Policy on Privacy in the Electronic Environment
  In Penn's Policy on Privacy in the Electronic Environment, the University affirms that the mutual trust and freedom of thought and expression essential to the academic mission of a university rest on an expectation of privacy, and that the privacy of those who work, study, teach, and conduct research in a university setting will be respected. The University recognizes that as faculty, staff and students create, use and store more information in electronic form, there is growing concern that information the user or creator considers private may be more vulnerable to invasion than information stored in more traditional media.
  The University's policy sets out defined circumstances in which electronic information contained on University computers and other electronic resources may be accessed and shared. These circumstances are rare and require senior-level consultation and approval.
