I have a further virus policy question for folks:
Do any of you *require* your students to have up-to-date anti-virus
software on their computers if they are hooked up to your campus network?
We are considering adding this to our ResNet Terms and Conditions. Of
course it is not really enforceable unless you go to the extreme of
requiring a managed client, but it's sort of like vehicle inspections...you
may not get pulled over for it unless you're spewing smoke, but if you get
pulled for speeding and have an out of date inspection, you'll get ticketed
for that as well.
I would be interested in hearing from any schools who have already
implemented such a policy. How do you respond if someone is found in
violation of the policy, especially if you find out because they call up
asking for help with removing a well-known worm that has been around for a
year?
As for Lisa's question, like many other campuses we have a site license for
Norton AV Corporate Edition for both university and personally-owned
computers. We offer both the managed and unmanaged versions, but encourage
our students on ResNet to install the managed version so the definition
files get pushed out to them instead of them having to run Live Update.
After the fall rush our staff assists students with virus removal.
This could be a panel presentation at this summer's conference.....
Cheers,
Stan
