Re: Use of Personal Computers for Work

[Jerry Tylutki <jtylutki () HAMILTON EDU>]

The few times I've tried to broker this conversation it ended up with
pushback for faculty members stating the need to perform institutional work
(research, grading) off-campus on any computer that is available (if they
left their managed laptop at work, or a number of other scenarios). There
is merit for proceeding with a policy requiring managed computers, with the
caveat that other controls and policies are in place beforehand (e.g. to
segment all byod staff/student/faculty devices). In the interim, we work
from our Data Class policy that specifies where particular data can be
accessed and how it can be accessed, requiring a VPN connection and a
minimum number of controls on unmanaged systems if they are allowed to be
used.
