I'm surprised David Reed would send this without poking around a bit.
There isn't anything in the article to provide support for the assertion
of such a policy.  Nevermind how one might actually go about enforcing
such a policy.  There is no such policy on the IT security policy page
at Berkeley:

  http://socrates.berkeley.edu:2002/pols.html

The newest policy deals with security of systems dealing with PII
data.  I took a quick look through to see if there were provisions in
there that might be responsible for the below article, but couldn't
find any such limitations.
