Excellent question - we were just wondering about this ourselves!! We've got faculty and staff bringing in personal equipment and asking us to connect them to the "business network". In some cases - we've complied - but now, I'm asking whether this is appropriate. It even comes down to asking us to install software on a college-owned system to allow them to sync their personal cell phone with the system (e-mail, calendars, etc.) For the most part - this is pretty benign, but what if they sync a message that has FERPA, budget, or other flavors of data in it? Thanks.....looking forward to the responses....

I was wondering if other institutions have a general Policy that a) explicitly prohibits Employees and administrators from using personal laptops or computing equipment for conducting university business ? The Assumption is that they are provided university owned equipment with standard images with up to-date security updates and protection. b) Prohibits Student Workers/GA's from handling confidential information when working with certain departments.
