Board Policy
This Confidentiality Policy applies to all CSUS personnel, including employed students, interns, faculty, staff, administration, and Board members. The policy imposes strict requirements on all persons to protect confidential information acquired in the conduct of their official responsibilities. Specifically, Board members, officers, and invited attendees must maintain as confidential information all matters discussed in Executive Session of the Board, unless waived by Board Resolution for a specific Executive Session. Only the Board may waive any confidentiality or privileged matter and only by specific resolution.
Procedures

- All documents or records for which a custodian of records may deny or shall deny inspection under the Colorado Open Records Act shall be deemed confidential information under this policy. (See: CRS 24-72-204).
