All, I have been searching the archives for some info I thought would be pretty straightforward, but haven't found anything recent, so here goes... In updating our security policies we are defining information classifications that explicitly defines FERPA (and other data) as Confidential. Our revised AUP states that Confidential data cannot be stored on personal devices/laptops. We have tons of adjunct faculty that use their own laptops for teaching and of course that means FERPA data being stored on those computers. How are you dealing with this situation? Clearly we will not be buying all these adjuncts laptops so that they are university-owned and managed devices. Would gratefully accept your advice on how your institutions handle this situation... Thanks, Sherri Sherri Yerk-Zwickl Associate Vice President for Information Technology and Chief Information Officer [ITS_Horizontal Align - Screen_SYZ]
