 Thanks for your response. This is the kind of all-encompassing approach
we are trying to grapple with. 

 We aren't sure it is a reasonable/realistic expectation to bar faculty
from having graded exams at home, or any other kind of student data
pertaining to their class. I suppose it would be possible to mandate
they do everything digitally, and then mandate they use encryption. We
are not sure if this would be a reasonable expectation, e.g. if it would
truly be implemented, but I'd like to hear how folks have worked with
faculty to address their needs.
