Under this new policy, you will be required to submit a request with a valid, detailed justification for Tier 2 management to the Engineering IT 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 Engineering Information Officer and Chief Information Security Officer of the College of Engineering for approval.
