Mandatory Security Training in Higher Education

["Sadler, Connie" <Connie_Sadler () BROWN EDU>]

Having come from a background in the Corporate world, where security
training is *mandatory*, I'm wondering how many institutions of higher
ed require security training for staff and/or faculty. We are planning
to require it for our ERP system users (and all staff soon), but the
question always comes up - "What are others doing"? So I'd appreciate
information about how you folks have approached your senior
administration in terms of why mandatory training is so important. If
you are not yet requiring training, I'd be interested in the barriers
you still face. It seems particularly challenging for faculty.

Thanks much!
