Hi Jim,
For those of you that participate in the EDUCAUSE Core Data Service, please note that this exact question is asked this 
year in the information security module (Q.23). This added question is a good example of how discussions on this very 
list have spurred improvements in the CDS question set-kudos to you all!

Kind regards,

Subject: [SECURITY] Restricting PC Admin Rights

Not sure if there is somewhere else I can get this info, I'm sure it's been asked before, but I am checking to see how 
many of your institutions restrict admin rights.  We are putting a proposal together to leadership to do exactly that 
as we have had a number of folks fall for scams that involve the installation of software on their PCs.

Thanks,
