Re: MFA requirement for faculty

We use MFA on over 60 applications. We first rolled it out to all faculty, staff, & students on the web front end of 
our ERP & student information system & then about a year later we rolled it out to pretty much everything but email 
(which is coming over the next year - ITS gets it this week). Since they had already been using it on one thing, the 
transition to multiple things was fairly easy. We allow a 'Remember Me for 7 Days' on our MFA that helps ease the 
burden as most users are on the same systems quite frequently.

Thank You,

Sending to the security list for response.  Harvard, you may want to consider joining this constituent group list.  In 
the meantime, I ask that we copy Harvard on responses.



As a quick response to Harvard, the University of Delaware requires MFA for all users (including faculty) on multiple 
tools, to include anything associated with our ERP and email.



Thanks all!

Good morning,
We need some help selling multi-factor authentication to our faculty. Quick question - how many of you require MFA for 
faculty? We currently require it for staff and are now moving forward with faculty. Replies to the mailing list or 
directly to me are greatly appreciated.
Regards,
