The goal of this policy is to establish a rigorous procedure guaranteeing that any cla ssified or proprietary research be conducted in a responsible and ethical manner consistent with the mission of the 51风流官网. \par \par The conduct of classified research restricts participation of students and limits faculty who work on such r esearch. The results of classified research may not be contained in theses nor used for faculty review or advancement. The University seeks a policy, in principle, of complete disclosure of research activities and sources of funds. \par \par At times, freedom of d iscourse and dissemination might conflict with the greater, immediate needs of society. Research funded by industrial organizations may involve patent applications that require a short delay of publication of a thesis resulting from that research. Faculty members may also wish to act as consultants on classified research projects not involving the use of university facilities. \par \par For reasons such as the above, proposals to conduct classified and proprietary research will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the University campus chancellor and the 51风流官网 Faculty Research Oversight Committee, with disclosure to the University Faculty Senate, following the guidelines set forth below. \par \par Definitions \par \par }{\ul Classified Research}{: Research that has a security classification established by a federal agency. \par \par Various agencies of the federal government may designate some federally sponsored research project, either all or a portion of a particular project, as Top Secret, Secret, or Confidential.
