Although the university's policy is more general, our department (Financial
Operations) created a more restrictive policy because our employees often
work with sensitive information.  Department employees need explicit
permission from their manager to work remotely.  (Exceptions are checking
emails and calendar appointments.)  Generally, if someone needs to work
remotely they will be given a department laptop with which to do so.

Does anyone have any policies or rules they would be willing to share for
remote access (VPN) to their instituion?  Are there any legal
policies/procedures I should be aware of?

Thank you,
