A Note About Litigation Holds
Updated Wednesday, March 25, 2009
As defined by the North Dakota Solicitor General, a "litigation hold" is the process of identifying and preserving documents, electronic information, and other materials that may constitute evidence in pending or "reasonably foreseeable" litigation. Information subject to a litigation hold should not be disposed of until the hold is canceled or removed.
If you know of litigation or possible litigation that might affect your records to be disposed of, or if you receive a "destruction hold notice", please immediately contact the NDSU General Counsel for guidance.
The General Counsel's office is working on a Web page with more information. Once that is available we will include a direct link from this Web site.

Records Management Policy Updated
Updated Tuesday, November 25, 2008
NDSU Policy Section 713, Records Management, has been revised and approved by President Chapman. The policy section was updated by a group from the Records Management Task Force in consultation with faculty representatives and a unit records coordinator.
Goals of the revision were to clarify the policy by spelling out the records management definitions and legal requirements, adding examples, and defining an ongoing Records Management Coordination Committee with broad representation.
