Integrated Technology Services Department

CALEA Compliance

Integrated Technology Services has determined that it is not subject to the reporting requirements of CALEA (Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act) because:

1. Southwestern maintains a private network for the use of students, faculty and administrators. College workstations, network accounts and wireless network access require authentication with a college issued user ID and password. There are some limited exceptions in the Library where some workstations are available for public use during the open hours of the Library.

2. Southwestern does not support the connection from our private network to the public internet. We purchase ISP services from ORCA Communications which provides the connection to the public internet.
