To avoid this question, I just bought my own laptop and don't bother
with the computer provided by the university. Side benefit, I got a MAC!
The university can do whatever it wants to do regarding it's property.
You would have a hard time proving it was your personal drive. IT will
probably come and wipe it and install their standard disk image on it.
If it is hooked up to their network, they need to control the safety of
the network.

This is only hypothetical,but I would like to present this scenario: a
prof decides to replace the computer hard drive in his/her office with
his/her own personal hard drive and set the pre-existing hard drive
aside.The prof is doing this because he/she wants to take the personal
hard drive when he/she leaves the institution,but would put back the
institution's original on the office computer.Please note that there
could be multiple reasons for a prof to have a personal hard drive
inserted on the office computer from research purposes to documentary
downloads and so on.Does the
institution still have a right to the prof's personal hard drive? Could
the institution levy a charge of tampering with school property against
the prof?
Send me something.
