Cc: wee@cs.ucdavis.edu
Hi Pat!
I met with Christopher Wee, Staff Researcher, Department of Computer
Science, and Lora Jo Bossio to discuss his study of how insiders misuse
information
obtained from computer systems. As we have discussed previously, you agreed
that Chris could use the computer systems for Financial Aid for his
research project.
We would like to hold a meeting with you during the week beginning July 7,
1997. Please let me know if we can meet. This research project is an
excellent opportunity for Academic and Administrative departments to work
in partnership for the benefit of the UC Davis community.
Thank you in advance for allowing Chris and his colleagues to conduct
research in Financial Aid. This is a very worthwhile project!
Have a Great Day!
David Day
