We have a personal responsibility policy, which includes keeping your computer secure

<http://www.columbia.edu/cu/policy/responsibility.html>

You must keep your computer secure. You should use anti-virus software and update your operating system regularly to avoid having intruders damage or take over your system and then attack others here or on the Internet. You could be held liable for damage caused by hackers using your computer. The University provides free copies of Symantec Anti-Virus to protect against viruses.

and a Acceptable use policy

<http://www.columbia.edu/cu/policy/network_use.html>

Which includes the following:

Each system owner is responsible for the security of any system he/she connects to the network. A system seen to be attacking other systems, e.g. having fallen victim to viruses/worms, will be taken off the network, generally without notice, until it has been made secure. Security information is available at http://www.columbia.edu/acis/security/.
