Security of Property   Each member of the Stanford community has a general obligation to safeguard and make appropriate use of University and sponsor owned property and equipment either assigned for individual use or part of a common area. Each department must ensure that there are reasonable security measures implemented in their areas to prevent theft, damage or misuse of equipment. The Department Property Administrator must play an integral role relative to these issues. Please review Chapter 11 – Security for detailed information on both physical and data security.
