By Steve

The Office of Information Technology’s Information Security Program has teamed with the University Archives department to install shred bins in all 27 residence halls to help students securely dispose of sensitive materials.University archivist Laura Edgar, who also helped to organize the initiative, said the shred bins will assist students in disposing of sensitive documents in a safe manner.

“We want to give students the option to securely destroy of sensitive materials,” Edgar said.

“We’d encourage [students] to shred anything they think is remotely sensitive – financial statements, medical records, junk-mail credit offers, anything that has information on it you wouldn’t feel comfortable other people having access to,” said Michael Chapple, OIT’s Informational Security Professional.
