DEC. 28, 2016: TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION (2FA) REQUIRED FOR CIS, CANVAS, BOX AND SOME OTHER UIT SERVICES[bs_row class=”row”][bs_col class=”col-sm-4″]

[/bs_col]
[bs_col class=”col-sm-8″]Due to the ever-increasing demand for higher security, starting Dec. 28, 2016, the University of Utah will require all employees to use two-factor authentication (2FA) when logging in to applications that use CAS (Central Authentication Service), such as CIS, Canvas, Box and others. In addition, the following systems/services will require 2FA: access to U systems via virtual private network (VPN); access to high-risk servers; and the Citrix Netscaler Gateway.
2FA provides an extra layer of security by requiring a second authentication method—one that isn’t your password—to confirm a user’s identity. The second method is something a user has physical access to, like a cellphone or tablet. This ensures that even if a hacker manages to obtain a user’s login credentials, the information is useless without access to the user’s secondary device.

Further information is online at it.utah.edu/2fa.

If you have questions, please call your IT help desk: Main Campus – UIT Help Desk 801-581-4000 option 1; Hospitals and Clinics – ITS Service Desk 801-587-6000.[/bs_col][/bs_row]

LAW SCHOOL’S MCLAUGHLIN APPOINTED TO POSITION WITH THE AMERICAN LAW INSTITUTE[bs_row class=”row”][bs_col class=”col-sm-4″][/bs_col]
[bs_col class=”col-sm-8″]Nancy A. McLaughlin, a professor at the S.J. Quinney College of Law, has been appointed associate reporter for the American Law Institute’s Restatement of the Law, Charitable Nonprofit Organizations project.

McLaughlin will work with a team to comprehensively address the laws governing charities and charitable assets in the United States. As part of the project, the group will address legal questions relating to the formation, governance and termination of charities; the duties of governing boards and individual fiduciaries; federal and state regulation of charities; and the laws governing charitable assets and pledges. Other reporters appointed to the project include Marion Fremont Smith, a senior research fellow at the Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations at Harvard University, and Jill Horwitz, a law professor at the University of California Los Angeles.

The American Law Institute is the leading independent organization in the U.S. producing scholarly work to clarify, modernize and otherwise improve the law. The institute drafts, discusses, revises and publishes restatements of the law, model codes and principles of law that are enormously influential in the courts and legislatures, as well as in legal scholarship and education. By participating in the institute’s work, its distinguished members have the opportunity to influence the development of the law in both existing and emerging areas, to work with other eminent lawyers, judges and academics, to give back to a profession to which they are deeply dedicated and to contribute to the public good.

McLaughlin has been a member of the American Law Institute since 2007.[/bs_col][/bs_row]

U LAW STUDENT SELECTED FOR STANFORD CONFERENCE[bs_row class=”row”][bs_col class=”col-sm-4″][/bs_col]
[bs_col class=”col-sm-8″]Rachael Motzkus, a third-year student at the S.J. Quinney College of Law, recently attended a conference at the Stanford Law School on Achieving Diversity in the Boardroom and C-Suite.

Motzkus will use the experience in continuing research at the U, where she’ll spend the spring semester researching diversity on corporate boards as part of Professor Jeff Schwartz’s securities law seminar.

Motzkus’ research will potentially be included as part of a working paper series that Stanford’s Rock Center for Corporate Governance will publish related to the diversity issue. Along with Schwartz, Motzkus will work with professor Cathy Hwang on the research portion of the project.

DO THE RIGHT THING – REPORT SUSPECTED FRAUD OR ABUSE[bs_row class=”row”][bs_col class=”col-sm-4″][/bs_col]
[bs_col class=”col-sm-8″]The university is committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct and encourages employees and others to report any dishonest or improper act that violates the law, wastes money, or endangers public health or safety. Employees are encouraged to report suspected improprieties to their supervisor or to a higher authority if the supervisor is involved. Also, the University has an ongoing contract with EthicsPoint, a private company, to administer an ethics and compliance hotline: 888-206-6025 or online at EthicsPoint. This service ensures confidentiality and provides 24/7 availability.

Hotline reports are regularly investigated, and often assist university leaders to halt improper behavior, address policy violations and resolve other problems. Past reports have been instrumental in correcting issues such as misuse of university resources and unauthorized hiring of relatives.

If you suspect or know of fraud or abuse, report it to management. If you feel unable to communicate your concerns directly to management or another appropriate university department, use the hotline. Provide details—names, dates, times, amounts, circumstances, witnesses, etc. You can even check back and respond to questions from the person investigating your report without divulging your identity.[/bs_col][/bs_row]

WANT NOT. WASTE NOT. OPT OUT.[bs_row class=”row”][bs_col class=”col-sm-4″][/bs_col]
[bs_col class=”col-sm-8″]Every week, the Campus Mail Unit receives five-10 tubs of junk and/or non-deliverable mail. Of that, about 10 percent is addressed incorrectly, which requires resources to find the correct destination and re-route.

First-Class mail is stamped and returned to sender. Bulk mail, without an endorsement, is shredded and recycled. The University Directory often has an employee’s home department address, but not the address for their actual physical location, which requires rerouting and additional processing time.

Campus Mail is asking that employees take the time to remove their names and addresses for junk mailers. Visit the Data & Marketing Association’s website to change the types of mail you see by clicking the “Register” button. The best part? You can add multiple addresses such as your home AND work. In about five minutes you can save the U and yourself a lot of time and effort by opting out of receiving junk mail. You can also opt out for those you are a caregiver for, as well as deceased family members.[/bs_col][/bs_row]

WINTER BREAK HOURS AND LIBRARY CLOSURE DATES[bs_row class=”row”][bs_col class=”col-sm-4″][/bs_col]
[bs_col class=”col-sm-8″]As part of a pilot project to determine cost savings and user impact over the holidays, the J. Willard Marriott Library will be closed during the U’s winter break (Dec. 23, 2016, through Jan. 2, 2017). They recently reviewed the resources required to run the library compared to patron use during that week and estimate the closure will have a low impact on the campus community while providing real savings in areas such as heating and electrical costs. Following this pilot project, the library will evaluate the results and report the findings in 2017.

To provide for those who will require assistance during the three days the library would normally be open (Dec. 27, 28 and 29), they will offer online research assistance from 8 a.m.-5 p.m.

To meet the increased demand for library services at the end of the fall semester, the library will offer extended hours Dec. 4-15.  During this time, the library will be open until 3 a.m. Sunday –Thursday, and 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Click here for complete schedule.

The Uonline Testing Center located in the library will be closed during the break as well. Other library TLT services will continue during the break, but will be moved to Milton Bennion Hall in room 212. For questions email classhelp@utah.edu. This closure includes all groups with locations in the library, including CTLE, TLT, the Writing Center, grant development services and academic advising.[/bs_col][/bs_row]
