Remote access and data offloads.

Does anyone have a workable institutional poly regarding remote desktop access versus VPN? We want to put something together that 'encourages' the use of a VPN connection that permits a degree of accountability. Although our Acceptable Use Policy addresses University data in all forms as just that, we would like to reiterate that issue of downloading institutional data to home computers etc. While a VPN without content filtering in some form is not the answer to unauthorized downloads, we feel it at least offers some degree of accountability for 'who-was-where-and-when'. Thanks in advance for some direction.
