Hi Anita, At the University of Washington we continue to offer UW-issued phones and/or pay for UW business on personal phones per the Administrative Policy Statement 55.1<http://www.washington.edu/admin/rules/policies/APS/55.01.html>, Mobile Device Use and Allowance Policy. Please note the policy does point out the responsibilities connected with conducting UW business that impacts "confidentiality of patient or student information" and covers individuals working at our hospitals. Also, the policy also links to lots of technical information on how to set up the device so as not to run afoul of privacy and security issues.
Happy Friday and have a great weekend, Rebecca Rebecca Goodwin Deardorff Director of Rules Coordination Office of the President Box 351210 Seattle, WA 98195 206-543-9219 www.washington.edu/rules [http://www.washington.edu/marketing/e-communications/wsignature.gif] From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Policy Sent: Friday, May 22, 2015 1:38 PM To: Association of College and University Policy Administrators Subject: [acupa-l] Mobile Device Stipend Policy ACUPA Members: We are currently considering a policy to end the University's current policy of providing cell phones to qualifying employees. The draft policy proposes stipends to employees who use their personal devices for business purposes and meet certain eligibility criteria. For those of you who have a mobile device stipend policy at your institutions, how do you address potential risks, especially associated with employees who handle HIPAA and FERPA protected information?
