Workstation "Policy"

In a growing environment of developers & administrative users (from me
to a staff of 30 in 4 years, no I'm not the boss) and the nearing task
of providing academic computing for pre-med & med students I am looking
for "Policy" documents.

We need to adopt some *formal* system use, workstation use and ethics
guidelines as a part of our computing environment.  Items from
selecting/assigning userid's, playing games (games are healthy),
newsgroup availability, root password knowledge (greater need for
developers, but certainly not all of them) and enforcement/punishment
where necessary for abuse (breaking accounts or other malicious acts).

Are there any published references or net-documents that deal with
these types of issues?

Many thanks - I'll send out the obl summary.
