Under this new policy, you will be required to submit a request with a valid, detailed justification for Tier 2 management to the Linux Team. Only very specific circumstances will be allowed. If your request is approved by the Linux Team, it will be forwarded to the Chief Information Officer and Chief Engineering Information Security Officer of the College of Engineering for approval. Additionally, Tier 2 exceptions must now be approved by the Dean’s Office. Should your scenario be approved by all of these, you will be permitted to have a Tier 2 computer. Please note that as a result of these changes, there will be much more scrutiny regarding your reason for requesting Tier 2 management, and consequently there will be fewer Tier 2 approvals than in the past.
