That should have read “around reducing staff commuting”, It does help to “reduce staff computing” 😉

One of the issue we have is bad policy related to work at home coming from HR and financial folks forcing people to use 
their own equipment as a matter of maintaining their employment and to meet the institution’s environment goals around 
reducing staff computing.  With out getting these policies in alignment folks you may end up forcing some folks to 
violate your policy, and then not report security issues they had on their personally held systems which is a much 
bigger issue.

This is a fairly straight forward, yet difficult to implement, policy.  Staff are fairly easy. Adjunct instructors are 
more difficult as the departments don’t want to spend money on laptops for adjunct instructors.

Hi Everyone -

I'm curious as to whether you have policies on your campuses requiring the use of institutional-owned computers for 
work and how effectively you might manage this faculty as well..

I've been saying to people it's bad security practice to be letting people use their own laptops (especially on the 
staff side) but it might be time to formalize something before people start thinking too much about going in this 
direction.

Any thoughts you might have on this would be greatly appreciated as well as any policies on this that you might be 
willing to share.

Thank you in advance!
