Bucknell University Intelligence (BUI) is our broad, cross-University program aimed at defining, aggregating and enabling more efficient and strategic use of our data.

Our Data Classification Policy defines the three types of data that exist on our campus — confidential, sensitive and public — and outlines the protections necessary for each class. The Information Security Policy for Mobile & Remote Devices establishes the framework necessary to enable the use of mobile and remote devices, such as home computers, in a safe and secure way. These policies were developed through close collaboration with our faculty and staff governance organizations and have been approved for widespread adoption by senior staff.
