The policy is the foundation of the policy library. It establishes the charge and mission of the Office of Information Security (OIS) to protect the Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA) of information resources at Washington University in St. Louis (WashU).

Any activity organized by a student organization, or members of a student organization at Washington University in St. Louis, which involves a member in practices which are injurious, or potentially injurious to an individual’s physical, emotional, or psychological well being (as determined at the sole discretion of the university) shall be immediate cause for disciplinary action.

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) was enacted in 1977 in order to halt improper payments to foreign officials, restore public confidence in the U.S. business system, and promote more reliable foreign legal environments. The FCPA prohibits corrupt payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business or obtaining an improper advantage. The FCPA is enforced by the U.S. Department of Justice. Any individual who violates these laws may be subject to personal fines and/or criminal prosecution.
