Objective The objective of DST’s Security Policy and related information security program is to implement data security measures reasonably designed in material respects to be consistent with applicable prevailing industry practices and standards (“Objective”). In order to meet such Objective, DST uses commercially reasonable efforts to: a. Protect the privacy, confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all confidential data and information disclosed by or on behalf of Fund to, or otherwise comes into the possession of DST, in connection with the provision of services under the Agreement and to the extent the same is deemed confidential information under the terms of the Agreement (collectively, “Fund Data”). For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the foregoing, “Fund Data” includes all Confidential Information of the Fund and its agents or service providers, including, without limitation all “Customer Information,” as contemplated in the Agreement; b. Protect against accidental, unauthorized, unauthenticated or unlawful access, copying, use, processing, disclosure, alteration, transfer, loss or destruction of the Fund Data; c. Comply with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations that are relevant to the handling, processing and use of Fund Data by DST in accordance with the Agreement; and d. Implement customary administrative, physical, technical, procedural and organizational safeguards. e. Implement means and technology to encrypt Fund Data, mutually acceptable between the Fund and DST, while in transit to and from DST.
Program Objectives Implement a rigorous constructability program following The University of Texas System, Office of Capital Projects Constructability Manual. Identify and document Project cost and schedule savings (targeted costs are 5% of construction costs). Clarification of Project goals, objectives.
Goals Goals define availability, performance and other objectives of Service provisioning and delivery. Goals do not include remedies and failure to meet any Service Goal does not entitle Customer to a Service credit.
Targets and Milestones For the purposes of this Access Agreement, the University of Bristol will assess progress in widening participation against a combination of progress measures which, between them, are designed to assess: • The specific impact of a number of key outreach initiatives. • Year on year progress in diversifying our applicant and student population. • Year on year progress in improving conversion of under-represented applicants. Bearing in mind the range of outreach activities which we plan to offer, we intend to measure year on year progress in attracting a wider pool of applicants by focusing particularly on each of the following categories (although additional measures included in our 2012 Agreement have also been retained for continuity of monitoring): • Applicants from low performing schools • Applicants from socio-economic groups 4-7 • Local applicants Progress measures for each of these are provided at Appendix Four. In each case, we have included new measures, to assess improvements in application to intake conversion. As far as possible, measures have been calculated taking account of the expected impact of a number of specific outreach initiatives (the Access to Bristol scheme, summer school programme and personal adviser scheme), each of which also has more detailed performance targets associated with them (also detailed at Appendix Four). Measurement of the University’s intake profile will be focused on the low school performance category, reflecting the role which this plays in our contextual approach to admissions. Measures relating to mature student intake have been included for continuity. The recent decision to grow our undergraduate numbers substantially means that continuing to measure progress in diversifying intake by looking at under-represented groups as a percentage of total intake is no longer meaningful. For each intake-related measure, we have therefore added the number of students which the original percentages might have been expected to deliver. Monitoring against these numbers will give a more accurate picture of progress. All progress measures have been informed by more detailed analysis of progress against the institutional milestones detailed in Appendix Two and will be re-calculated annually to reflect assessment of our progress to date. In addition, it should be noted that we intend to carry out further research, for example, to better understand the impact of educational standards in the Bristol area on our ability to progress at the specified rates; we may need to adjust the progress measures contained in this agreement for future years to reflect the findings.
