Forty-one of the 200 colleges and universities surveyed completed the 41-question instrument. The potential for unauthorized access to computer accounts, data bases, and networks was regarded as another area of high vulnerability. Many respondents viewed their institutions' policies on computer losses as too lax. Less than half the institutions provided education on computer security. The large number of institutions with self-insurance programs or no insurance also suggested the large potential for economic losses from computer theft. Arrest rates of perpetrators and recovery rates of stolen property were both low. Participants recommended three types of measures: education of the campus community about security techniques, training of campus security personnel, and use of procedural and physical security devices. Questions and raw response data.
