KU takes privacy seriously. KU is committed to protecting the privacy of the information maintained by the institution and is working to enhance the protection of identifiable information in the lives of the KU community.

Handling Information When Moving Around

The KU Privacy office has several steps to check off as you complete the end of term, leave KU or simply decide it is time to clean out your paper or electronic files. Please see the checklist on the clipboard and click through each item for some basic guidance on Moving Day. If you have any questions, contact the KU Privacy Office by email to privacy@ku.edu or by phone to 785.864.9528.

KU Anywhere / VPN Access

KU Anywhere allows secure access to resources on the KU network, such as Outlook or access a departmental file server from computers that are not connected to the KU network, but are connected to the Internet.

Encryption Options

There may be nine million reasons to encrypt—the FTC estimates that is how many Americans have their identities stolen each year. The KU Privacy Office recommends the use of encryption for the transmission and/or storage of Confidential or Sensitive Information.

Information Management Program

This ambitious plan will develop and carry out a series of steps that will improve our handling and securing of private information, our management of university records, and the preservation of KU’s institutional memory for today’s decision-makers and tomorrow’s scholars.
