Best Practices for Handling Issues of Bandwidth and Copyright

A network administrator at Brandeis University is surveying colleagues on other campuses to better understand how colleges manage bandwidth and handle complaints of online copyright infringement. Brandeis itself plans to update its policies and procedures on those issues.

Elliot Kendall, network-security architect at the university, says he will compile the responses and issue a report this week. The copyright survey is separate from the bandwidth survey.—Andrea L. Foster
