Lindback Nominations: November 30 Nominations for Lindback Awards for members of the standing faculty, and for Provost s Awards for full- and parttime associated faculty and academic support staff are now being accepted by the Office of the VPUL; send to Terry Conn at 3611 Locust Walk/6222 or conn@pobox.upenn.edu. Criteria and Guidelines 1. The Lindback Awards are given in recognition of distinguished teaching. Distinguished teaching is teaching that is intellectually demanding, unusually coherent, and permanent in its effect. The distinguished teacher has the capability of changing the way in which students view the subject they are studying. The distinguished teacher provides the basis for students to look with critical and informed perception at the fundamentals of a discipline, and he/she relates that discipline to other disciplines and to the worldview of the student. The distinguished teacher is accessible to students and open to new ideas, but also expresses his/her own views with articulate informed understanding of an academic field. The distinguished teacher is fair, free from prejudice, and singleminded in the pursuit of truth. 2. Distinguished teaching means different things in different fields. While the distinguished teacher should be versatile, as much at home in large groups as in small, and in beginning classes as in advanced, he or she may have skills of special importance in his/her area of specialization: skillful direction of dissertation students, effective supervision of student researchers, ability to organize a large course of many sections, skill in leading seminars, special talent with large classes, ability to handle discussions or to structure lectures these are all relevant attributes, although it is unlikely that anyone will excel in all of them. 3. Distinguished teaching is recognized and recorded in many ways; evaluation must also take several forms. It is not enough to look solely at letters of recommendation from students. It is not enough to consider objective evaluations of particular classes in tabulated form; a faculty member s influence extends beyond the classroom and beyond individual classes. Nor is it enough to look only at a candidate s most recent semester or at opinions expressed immediately after a course is over; the influence of the best teachers lasts while that of others may be great at first but lessen over time. It is not enough merely to gauge student adulation, for its basis is superficial; but neither should such feelings be discounted as unworthy of investigation. Rather, all of these factors and more should enter into the identification and assessment of distinguished teaching. 4. The Lindback Awards have a symbolic importance that transcends the recognition of individual merit. They should be used to advance effective teaching by serving as reminders to as wide a spectrum of the University community as possible of the expectations of the University for the quality of its mission. 5. Distinguished teaching occurs in all parts of the University and therefore faculty members from all schools are eligible for consideration. An excellent teacher who does not receive an award in a given year may be re-nominated in some future year and receive the award then. 6. The Lindback Awards may be awarded to faculty members who have many years of service remaining, or they may recognize many years of distinguished service already expended. No faculty member may be considered for the Lindback Award in a year in which the member is considered for tenure or is in his or her terminal year. All nominees should be members of the standing faculty. The teaching activities for which the awards are granted must be components of the degree programs of the University of Pennsylvania. 7. The awards should recognize excellence in either undergraduate or graduate teaching, or both. 8. The recipient of a Lindback Award should be a teacher/ scholar. While a long bibliography is not necessarily the mark of a fine mind, or the lack of one a sign of mediocrity, it is legitimate to look for an active relationship between a candidate s teaching and the current state of scholarship in his/her field. MLK: Remembering the Dream, Living the Vision Dear Members of the Penn Community, The MLK Planning Committee has begun preparations for the 2002 Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Celebration and Symposium. This multi-faceted program will take place January 21- February 1, 2002. This year s theme is Remembering the Dream, Living the Vision. The goal of the two-week long Celebration and Symposium is to offer a variety of academically-based programs to foster campus-wide dialogue that reflects Dr. King s philosophies and ideals. Over the years there has been a growing movement to transform the Martin Luther King federal holiday into a day of active citizenship and volunteer service. To that end, the planning committee is developing several service projects which will take place on campus and in the surrounding community on the holiday. Additionally, a full slate of commemorative events are being planned for the weeks following the holiday to give as many members of the Penn community as possible an opportunity to remember the dream and live the vision. Complete details about the 2002 Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Celebration and Symposium will be announced in a few weeks. For more information, contact the African-American Resource Center at (215) 898-0104 or aarc@pobox.upenn.edu.

Council Meeting Coverage Last Wednesday s University Council meeting was devoted entirely to reports on the state of the University and followed by questions and answers about those presentations. The first topic was the next strategic plan for the University to carry Penn forward into the next five years, beyond the Agenda for Excellence. Provost Robert Barchi outlined what steps have been taken thus far and what will occur in the next few months. Next, President Judith Rodin described the new structure for Penn Medicine, a fullyintegrated system combining the School of Medicine and the Health System into a cohesive entity. Then, President Rodin asked Landis Zimmerman, managing director of investments, to provide an Endowment Overview for fiscal year 2001. The president s and provost s presentations, on the strategic plan and on Penn Medicine, as well as the lists of the 14 strategic planning committees, are on the following pages (see pages 4-7). The presentation on the endowment will be published next week. Section IV.3(c) of the Council Bylaws provides that a University Council meeting shall incorporate an open forum to which all members of the University community are invited and during which any member of the University community can direct questions to the Council. All members of the University community are invited to bring their concerns to the University Council Open Forum Wednesday, December 5, 2001, 4-6 p.m. Bodek Lounge, Houston Hall Persons who wish to speak at Council must inform the Office of the Secretary (215) 898-7457 by Tuesday, November 27, 2001. Topics may include issues such as the following: Admissions & Financial Aid, Bookstore, Communications, Community Relations, Facilities, International Programs, the Library, Pluralism concerns, Recreation and Intercollegiate Athletics, Safety and Security, Student Affairs, Open Expression, etc. Please see the format below. Questions may be directed to the Office of the Secretary. Office of the Secretary Format for University Council s Open Forum December 5, 2001 The University Council will devote a substantial portion of its December 5, 2001 meeting to a public forum, in accordance with the terms of the University Council Bylaws (Almanac September 19, 2000). The purpose of the Open Forum is to inform Council of issues important to the University s general welfare and of the range of views held by members of the University. The forum is open to all members of the University community under the conditions set by the Bylaws, following guidelines established by the Steering Committee of Council: 1. Any member of the University Community who wishes to do so may attend the Council meeting. Persons who wish to speak to Council, however, must inform the Office of the Secretary (215) 898-7457 by Tuesday, November 27, 2001 indicating briefly the subject of their remarks. Those who have not so informed the Office of the Secretary will be permitted to speak only at the discretion of the moderator of University Council and in the event that time remains after the scheduled speakers. 2. Speakers should expect to be limited to three minutes with the possibility of additional time in cases where members of Council engage the speakers with follow-up questions or remarks. The moderator may restrict repetition of views. Speakers are encouraged to provide Council with supporting materials and/ or written extensions of their statements before, during, or after the Council meeting. 3. Following the deadline for speakers to sign up in the Office of the Secretary, the chair of Steering and the moderator of Council will structure the subject matter themes, speakers, and times of the Open Forum session. In the event that there is not enough time available at the meeting to provide for all those who have requested to speak, the two officers may make selections which accommodate the broadest array of issues having important implications for Council s work and represent the breadth of Council s constituencies. The resulting order of the Open Forum of University Council will be made available no later than the Tuesday before the meeting, to be published in the Daily Pennsylvanian, and posted on Penn Web on that day and, if possible under publication deadlines, in Almanac the week of the meeting. 4. Speakers statements should be framed so as to present policy issues and directed to University Council as a body through the moderator. The moderator will have discretion to interrupt statements that are directed against persons and otherwise to maintain the decorum of the meeting, as provided for in the Bylaws. In cases where questions or positions can be appropriately addressed by members of Council, or where a colloquy would seem to be productive given the time constraints of the meeting, the moderator may recognize members of Council to respond to speakers statements, with opportunities for follow-up by the speakers. www.upenn.edu/almanac 3 Almanac s Schedule There is no Almanac scheduled for November 27. Today, November 13, is the deadline for the Update which will appear in the November 20 issue and will cover the remainder of this month of November.

Almanac will publish on these dates: November 13 November 20 December 4 December 11 December 18 Breaking news and bulletins will be posted to Almanac Between Issues (see www.upenn.edu/almanac/between/). Ed. ALMANAC November 13, 2001 COUNCIL State of the University Strategic Planning Process Update President Judith Rodin s introduction to Strategic Planning Update It would be very hard to begin an overview of where we are and strategically where we re going without at least noting, once again, that we all are so affected still by the events of September 11. The comment that I d like to make is that it has clearly influenced our community in many very painful ways. But as all events of such epic proportion do, it has also influenced us in some positive ways. I m seeing a much more related sense of community, which has been part of our ambitions; and I m seeing it in a variety of different ways. I do hope that out of this horror we really will be able to continue learning, to continue reaching out to each other across our differences, and find ways to demonstrate on campus that there is a sense of community that we share and about which we re proud, and that we really learn from one another. At the end of the semester last year there was a supplement in Almanac that reported on The Agenda for Excellence, and I m obviously not going to review this very lengthy tome, except to remind you once again that it is available still on the Almanac web site and it will be a good way for members of Council to be knowledgeable about what we have been working on for the past five or six years, if you haven t been here or, if you haven t been in official roles that made you pay attention to it. But I do want to mention just a couple of things because they are, in a way, a prelude to some of the things that the Provost will be discussing. As we ve tried to increase the ways that Penn is viewed throughout the University as a thought leader in teaching and research and innovative curricula, and in the use of technology, we ve done a number of things over these five or six years (which, again certainly less transparent to the undergraduates who weren t here seven years ago, but certainly worth noting). There are now regular curriculum reviews by the school faculty in all of the schools and you re seeing now the pilot curriculum in the College, a result of an effort to think creatively about the new arts and sciences curriculum. Wharton, over the past several years, has continued to change and refresh its curriculum. There s been almost a total overhaul during this period of the Engineering and Applied Sciences undergraduate curriculum and we are continuing to try to refresh the Nursing curriculum as well. Over the course of the past several years we ve expanded cross-school and cross-disciplinary programs. And when I reported to you annually, I think it was harder to really see the impact of the change in Penn as it developed this strategic niche as one of its sets of undergraduate offerings. But since 1995, new joint- and dual-degree programs include the program in nursing and health care management; computer and cognitive science, specializing in artificial intelligence; environment and technology; nursing and computer science program; several sub-matriculation programs; a B.A. and M.S. in education program; a juris doctor program, starting from the undergraduate level; an intensive major in architecture; molecular life sciences; and digital media design all new and accomplishments of the strategic plan. Another innovation of the plan has been the development of what we call normative reviews of all of the schools and centers. This week we completed the review of admissions; we ve done reviews of athletics and a review of seven of the twelve schools. When I say normative, we will put these on a six- to seven-year cycle. They are not done because we think the entity is in trouble or that we have any concerns, but merely because we think first, the opportunity for self-study and second, the opportunity to bring external experts who spend two intensive days examining that program, is a very good way of bench-marking what we re doing and really continuing to develop as a cutting-edge, state-of-the-art institution. We ll be doing it in information technology. In the library, which we did already, we ve learned a great deal and we ve implemented a number of changes as a result of what we ve learned. We believe in this kind of selfevaluation and self-improvement as we go through this self-evaluation cycle. Certainly you know that the College House System, the Undergraduate Research Hub, the Fox Leadership program, Kelly Writers House, and Civic House are all initiatives that were developed under the last strategic plan and have really transformed the way the campus feels in terms of the academic programs. Many, many other initiatives have been undertaken and I think the challenge for us now is to really build on those strengths and work to enhance where we re going and how we re thinking about that. 4 www.upenn.edu/almanac Provost Robert Barchi on Strategic Planning Process What I d like to do is to take you through the process that we have initiated that moves the the Agenda for Excellence forward to the next round of planning for the University. Let me preface this by simply saying that the Agenda itself is a living document. We don t consider this new strategic planning effort to be a revolutionary change but rather an evolutionary one; we re working with a mission statement that essentially remains unchanged. Our mission as a University remains the same, but we need to update and recast our goals in the context of today s environment and where we think the University is going to be in the next five years. We need to make sure that our academic priorities are in the context of the University s over arching goals and that the organizational priorities for the institution support the academic mission. So let me tell you a little bit about where we ve gone so far. First of all, the process started in the fall of 1999 with a Trustee Retreat. At that time the Trustees went off campus for several days and met with the senior administration and the deans to think about what the University should be and where it should go. Some very interesting ideas emerged from those discussions that helped to guide the subsequent process. Assessing the Agenda for Excellence We then undertook an assessment of the Agenda for Excellence over a period of months a retrospective, if you will recapping what had been accomplished under the current Agenda; this led to a detailed report that was summarized and published in Almanac last spring, The Agenda for Excellence review. We then moved into what I will call the leadership phase. The senior administration, the Council of Deans, and the Academic Planning and Budget Committee in conjuntion with the provost and the vice provost undertook a self assessment. What are our strengths and weaknesses? How do we see ourselves as an institution? How do we see our students and what kind of students do we want to have here? How do we see our faculty? How would we describe ourselves? Most importantly, what do we see as the unique differentiators of Penn in the marketplace? These questions led us then into a discussion of a draft strategic plan outline, the key elements that we thought should be the backbone of the next round of strategic planning and the key academic and organizational priorities that we would like to put forward for further discussion. The key word here is really evolutionary. Let me give you an example. In the current strategic plan, one of our major goals was to move our undergraduate program upward in the rankings from a position that at the beginning of that plan was hovering near the beginning of the top ten or slightly below. We are now unquestionably one of the premier undergraduate research intensive universities in the nation. From this point forward we should be looking at how we solidify and strengthen that position. What differentiates us from other comparable institutions in this very elite group and how do we build on those differentiating strengths? That s the kind of a process that we re going through. Let me just outline for you what the strategic plan will look like. It will have three elements: the first set of elements will be institutional goals that cut across the entire set of schools and programs of our institution where we re going as a University, what we set as the highest and most important agenda items for the institution as a whole. Then intersecting with these institutional goals will be a set of academic priorities that identify key areas of opportunity; key areas of strength or differentiating features that should be expanded; key areas perhaps of weakness that we should build on and fill in; and opportunities that were not there five ago that we now see looming on the horizon and where we want to be pushing the envelope and building rapidly into, ahead of the power curve of other universities. Each one of those academic priorities should cut across and pick up a number of the institutional goals as it moves forward. Finally, we should make sure that the organizational priorities, the operational elements of the University that need to be tuned up or amplified or extended, are serving in the mission of both the institutional goals and the academic priorities. Institutional Goals Let me take you briefly through the outline of where we re going beginning with institutional goals first. We ve identified a set of five institutional goals: the first is to solidify Penn s position as one of the premier research and teaching institutions in the nation and in the world. The second, to improve the quality, impact and translatability of our ALMANAC November 13, 2001 scholarly activity. Here the words are very important focusing on quality, focusing on the impact of the research as opposed to just the volume of the research and the translation of ideas from the laboratory, from the research office to the real world. Third, we re looking to provide a continuum of education that engages learners throughout their lives; we re looking at what we do as an institution from the time a student walks in our door as a pre-college high school student, to their college years, through their graduate years and throughout their lives to recreational learning, if you will, in their retirement years. We want to create a continuum rather than an episodic contact with our learners throughout their lives and try to understand what that means. One of the most important elements in our future plans is that the first three goals require the building of an outstanding and diverse faculty; faculty recruitment and retention and faculty diversity will be a key element of the next strategic plan. Finally creating a physical environment that s supportive of the academic and research mission is also important; how can we most effectively integrate these academic goals within the framework of the campus development plan we have just completed? Let me just amplify one of those elements to show you where we re going and the kinds of ideas we re starting to tease out. We ve mentioned the need to focus on differentiating areas what makes Penn unique, what creates the value added here for a student at Penn and strengthening those areas. This may require a continuing focus on excellence in undergraduate education, thinking about the liberal core that should cut across all our educational programs, better integration across the four undergraduate schools, expansion of our interdisciplinary programs and the need to improve financial aid. It could mean a strengthening of the quality of graduate education and thinking about vertical integration of our educational programs, taking advantage of the presence of outstanding professional schools and graduate schools on campus as we develop our undergraduate programs and vice versa. new and different ways to the broader community, both to the marketplace and to the broader world environment, allowing our faculty and our students to be entrepreneurial and providing them the support that they need to do those kinds of things. We also need to consider the operational aspects of enhancing the campus environment, the business functions that allow us to do that, and to make those growths possible. And finally we need to develop a financial strategy that allows us to align the resources that we have as a University with the needs that are generated by the strategic plan, to make sure that we re always thinking about keeping those two things in concert, and that we don t let one outstrip the other. We need to have the appropriate checks and balances in place to be sure that we, on the one hand, are living within our means but, on the other hand, are generating the new means to make the strategic plan possible. Community Input That s the broad outline of the proposed plan. The next step is to bring this into the broader public domain and for community input. What we ve done is to create 14 committees that are looking at various elements of this outline. These committees incorporate more than 200 faculty and staff and students, and they include key opinion-makers from throughout the campus [see page 6]. As you know they re already out there working. Their job is to make a fairly short turnaround of this analysis. We will invite comment from across the University community for discussion of elements of this plan as we develop them. We will publish a draft of the document to the University community for comment. The committee process is not one that rubber stamps an agenda that is already completed. What I showed you is an outline. It is what was given to the committees for their work. There is not a detailed analysis behind this, that s the job of the committees. They will validate these concepts, they ll help us to order the relative priorities, they ll provide definition to the ideas that we ve put forward and more importantly, they ll add additional ideas and take out things they think are not consistent. They ll look for potential conflicts between areas covered by the different committees. The chairs of each one of these committees are meeting regularly with me as a group specifically for that purpose. We ll look at ways to implement the strategies as they re brought forward, each one of these committees will generate a very brief report, which will be part of the overall agenda. We re looking for draft reports from the committees by the end of November and final reports by December. We ll bring an assembled, collated document back to the Council of Deans and to the Academic Planning and Budget Committee by the end of December or early January. We re looking to publish a draft strategic plan in one of the January editions of Almanac that you will then all see and be able to comment on. We ll look at your comments and try to incorporate them in a final version, which will be presented to the Board of Trustees on the 15th and the 16th of February. Academic Priorities Let me skip now to the academic priorities. Here we ve picked six areas that we think are particularly prime targets. Some of those are carry-overs from the past plan, such as arts, humanities in society, which continues to be an area that we think Penn should be focusing on and developing. The life sciences are another. We are a world leader in the life sciences here at Penn. Any cutting-edge university in the future that s a research-intensive university will be a powerhouse in the life sciences, and we aim to be too. The urban community is important, too, particularly given Penn s place in an urban environment and the expertise we have here on this campus in such areas as urban architecture, urban planning and the movement of populations in and out of cities and in urban health. Technological innovation is a fourth, and one that cuts across the Engineering School and other schools of our University in such areas as bioengineering, nanotechnology, and computer sciences. The last two priorities are the global perspective and organizations, institutions, and leadership. Again let me expand on just one of these the global perspective to give you an idea of the direction in which we are going. This is an area that we think will be critically important for universities in the new world in the next 10 years and one in which we think we have selective strengths but not the level of external visibility that we should have. We re looking to expand and extend on the political science of governments and nations; to build programs that study the international business, commerce, and affairs of countries and their relation to the global economy; legal aspects of international relations and politics; ethnicity, race and gender; and international health. So you can see the breadth of programs that might fit under each one of these academic priorities. Time Line Trustee Retreat 1999 Agenda Assessment Leadership Phase 2000 Public Phase 2001 Organizational Priorities And finally, there are the organizational priorities that will support the institutional goals and the academic priorities. Here we are talking about enhancing the financial and operational capacity of the University, making sure we are the most economical and leanest operational unit that we possibly can be, that we re the most efficient at doing what we need to do to support our academic programs. We are also talking about encouraging and supporting entrepreneurial activity. This could involve looking at ways to translate our knowledge in ALMANAC November 13, 2001 October November December January Open Forum COD AP&B Draft Final Report Publish In Almanac February Board of Trustees Feb. 15 & 16 Committees www.upenn.edu/almanac 5 Members of the Strategic Planning Committees (November 2, 2001) III.

There is only one meeting site and that spin it off into a separate entity and try to manage it as a more distant is the Penn Medicine site and there is a very significant amount of overlap relative of the University of Pennsylvania. between the Trustees and the members of the Penn Medicine board now I mentioned to Council at its last session that we had recruited Dr. by statute. So the chairman of the board of Penn Medicine is a University Arthur Rubenstein to become the new executive vice president and dean.

Office of International Programs OF RECORD Policy on Deployment, Operation, and Registration Requirements for Wireless Access Points on PennNet Authority and Responsibility Information Systems and Computing s Networking & Telecommunications organization is responsible for the operation of PennNet (Penn s data networks) and therefore has the authority and responsibility to specify requirements for any devices connecting to PennNet. This authority extends to device configuration management, as incorrect or conflicting information could adversely impact the operation of other network-connected devices. Executive Summary This policy specifies the requirements for Wireless Access Points (APs) and related wireless LAN infrastructure operating on PennNet. It also provides related best practice recommendations. Purpose The purpose of this policy is to specify the requirements and limitations for wireless LAN operation on PennNet. While wireless LANs can provide a very efficient and convenient way to maintain access and provide some limited user mobility, their use under certain circumstances can cause significant problems (see Risk of Non-compliance, below). Definitions Access Point or AP A device that provides radio signal connectivity for wireless LAN clients and a wired-network connection, bridging the wireless and wireline networks. Wireless Client A network node using wireless radio signaling to reach a network through an association with a wireless AP. Center Frequency or Channel The specific frequency range at which a given AP and its wireless clients operates within the larger frequency range used by wireless Local Area Networks. Risk of Non-compliance IEEE standard 802.11 networks operate using unlicensed wireless spectrum. Given that, only a very small number of wireless APs can be in active operation within a given geographic area without creating performance-degrading interference for each other. Even given limited deployment, it is important to have the AP frequency settings configured in a non-interfering way. For this reason, coordination among those operating wireless LAN APs is essential. Scope This policy applies to any device acting as a wireless AP on PennNet and/or in any University of Pennsylvania building. Statement of Policy 1. Anyone running a wireless AP must register the AP with ISC Networking & Telecommunications at www.upenn.edu/computing/pennnet/ AP/. ISC Networking & Telecommunications reserves the right to disallow the registration and operation of an AP if it would result in a conflict with another serving the same area. 2. Authorized APs may need to be shut down or reconfigured at a later date if another academic or administrative unit in the area experiences interference in the relevant frequency ranges. 3. All IP addresses handed out by an AP must be registered in accordance with the Policy on the use of PennNet IP address space at www.isc-net.upenn.edu/policy/approved/20000124-ipaddress.html. 4. AP devices acting as DHCP servers must comply with the Policy on the Operation of DHCP Servers on PennNet at www.isc-net.upenn.edu/ 8 www.upenn.edu/almanac policy/approved/20000530-dhcpserver.html. Recommendations and Best Practices The following related practices are strongly recommended by ISC Networking & Telecommunications. 1. Check with your School or Center computing director before planning a wireless LAN. Plans may already exist for broader buildingwide wireless LAN initiatives. 2. Careful planning of wireless LANs, including use of a formal site survey process, can significantly reduce later frequency conflicts and network performance problems. ISC Networking & Telecommunications can provide assistance in wireless LAN site surveys upon request. 3. Wireless LAN center frequencies should be chosen such as to avoid frequency overlap. The use of only channels 1, 6, and 11 in 802.11 and 802.11b wireless LANs can help to avoid overlap. 4. In cases where access points have variable radio power levels, the minimal power level that provides the intended coverage should be chosen so as to limit interference with other devices operating in that frequency range. Compliance A. Verification: ISC Networking & Telecommunications does not plan to actively police the network in an effort to discover unregistered or misconfigured APs, but will act on those discovered during the normal course of events in operating and/or troubleshooting the network. B. Notification: Notification shall be made to the LSP and/or server administrator for the area whenever possible and practical. C. Remedy: Remedy will normally be the removal of the access point (AP) from the network until such time as it can be brought into compliance. ISC Networking & Telecommunications will offer assistance to the LSP for the area in bringing AP configuration and registration into compliance. D. Financial Implications: Charges may be assessed for time spent by ISC Networking & Telecommunications in troubleshooting problems attributable to a non-compliant or misconfigured AP. Please see the Policy on Troubleshooting Charges for Violations of PennNet Policies for information on additional fees that may be assessed to cover the costs incurred in troubleshooting related to violations of this policy. E. Responsibility: Responsibility for remedy lies with those responsible for the AP and/or the local area network. In the vast majority of cases, the area LSP will have involvement in the implementation of the remedy. F. Time Frame: Non-compliant servers must be remedied immediately to reduce risk of networking failures for other network users. G. Enforcement: Please see the Policy on Computer Disconnection from PennNet at www.upenn.edu/computing/policy/disconnect.html. H. Appeals: Please see the Appeals section of the Policy on Computer Disconnection from PennNet at www.upenn.edu/computing/policy/ disconnect.html.

Information Systems and Computing, Networking & Telecommunications ALMANAC November 13, 2001 OF RECORD Policy on Requirements for Authenticated Access at Public Jacks, Public Kiosks, Wireless Networks, and Lab Computers on PennNet Authority and Responsibility Information Systems and Computing s Networking & Telecommunications organization is responsible for the operation of PennNet (Penn s data networks) and therefore has the authority and responsibility to specify requirements for any devices connecting to PennNet. This authority extends to requirements for authentication in access to PennNet. Information Systems and Computing s Information Security organization is responsible for establishing information security policies, guidelines and standards and therefore has the authority and responsibility to specify security requirements for access to PennNet. This authority extends to requirements for authentication in access to PennNet. Executive Summary This policy specifies authentication and accounting requirements for certain user access to PennNet. Specifically, it addresses on-campus access to PennNet from locations or devices that are not directly associated with a specific individual Penn user. Primary examples are access to PennNet from public jacks, public kiosk computers, wireless networks, and lab computers. This policy is therefore addressed to the local computing directors and computing support personnel responsible for these areas and/or these network jacks. This policy document also provides related best practice recommendations on configuration decisions associated with authentication and accounting. Purpose The purpose of this policy is to specify the minimum user authentication and accounting requirements for access via public network jacks, public kiosk computers, wireless networks, and lab computers attached to PennNet. Definitions Public For the purposes of this policy document, public is defined to be those campus spaces that are not in private or semi-private offices or suites with locking doors. All outdoor locations in which PennNet is available are also considered public campus locations for the purposes of this policy document. Kiosk For the purposes of this policy document, a kiosk computer is a computer or similar user interface device that is available in a public or common area and is intended for shared use by any person in that common area. A standalone kiosk is one that has no external connections to networks or telephone lines. Risk of Non-compliance Unauthenticated access to PennNet may in some cases allow for inadvertent exposure of University-confidential information and may contribute to violation of University license agreements for limited access to software or information. Unauthenticated access can lead to illegal anonymous activity such as harassing and threatening e-mail messages. Scope This policy applies to on-campus user access to PennNet from locations or devices that are not directly associated with a specific individual Penn user. Primary examples are access to PennNet from public jacks, PennNetconnected public kiosk computers (standalone kiosks are exempt), wireless networks, and lab computers. This policy is therefore addressed to the local computing directors and computing support personnel responsible for these areas and/or these network jacks. Statement of Policy 1. User authentication is not required for access to computers that are generally for the use of one individual, and that are located in locked, private offices. Authentication is also not required in locked office suites if each computer requires some form of access control (such as a password protected screen saver) to gain access. 2. Access to PennNet in computer labs on campus must require user authentication. 3. Access to PennNet from newly deployed, unrestricted kiosk computers must require user authentication. Access to PennNet from unrestricted kiosks deployed before the effective date of this policy must require user authentication by September 1, 2002 (assuming thorough supporting infrastructure committed to by January 15, 2002 for deployment by March 15, 2002). Authentication is not required at restricted-access kiosks which provide reasonable controls to ensure that users: Can not change security-sensitive settings. Can not alter the reboot process or the operating environment. Can not use arbitrary remote applications or services. Can not initiate connections to arbitrary networked resources. Can not send electronic messages including, but not limited to, e-mail, news group postings, and instant messages. 4. Access to PennNet at network jacks in public campus locations must require user authentication by September 1, 2002 (assuming thorough supporting infrastructure committed to by January 15, 2002 for deployment by March 15, 2002). 5. Access to PennNet via wireless local area networks must require user authentication by September 1, 2002 (assuming thorough supporting infrastructure committed to by January 15, 2002 for deployment by March 15, 2002). 6. Records of access must be retained for at least six months. Logs must include at least the identity of the user, IP address, and the date and time of the connection. 7. The user namespace used for authentication must be fully PennNames compliant (Please see www.upenn.edu/computing/pennnames/). Recommendations and Best Practices The following related practices are strongly recommended by ISC: 1. So that time-stamped log entries are accurate, use of reliable time synchronization protocols, such as Network Time Protocol (NTP), is encouraged. 2. Until scalable user authentication for wireless networks is practical, access to PennNet via wireless local area networks should be configured to attempt to limit user access to authorized Penn users through one of the available approaches. At the time of writing of this policy document, some current approaches are limits by Media Access Control (MAC) address, limits via Closed Group Service Sets, and Service Set password protection. These approaches are supported by the most popular access points, including, for example, Apple Airport, Avaya WaveLan, Cisco Aironet, and many others. 3. Computer labs are encouraged to use the ISC authentication modules for Windows NT and Windows 2000 whenever possible to enforce authentication. Public kiosk computers connected to PennNet may also be able to use the available ISC authentication modules for Windows NT and Windows 2000. [Assuming that a MacOS X authentication module becomes available during spring of 2001, this will be recommended as a best practice as well]. 4. Public labs should be staffed whenever practical, and require that users show PennCards or use a PennCard card swipe to gain entry. 5. Obtain temporary network authentication credentials for short-term visitors needing access to on-line Penn resources during their stay. It is recommended that credentials be created with the minimal lifetime sufficient to cover the need. The procedure, including sponsorship requirements and fees, is described at www.isc-net.upenn.edu/policy/supporting/guestpas.html. 6. Position lab and public kiosk computers to be within view of security cameras when possible. Compliance A. Verification: ISC reserves the right to review the access control implementation for computers, servers, and services that provide user access to PennNet. B. Notification: Notification shall be made to the LSP for the area. C. Remedy: Remedy will be the re-configuration of the computer, server or service to require appropriate authentication and access control as per this policy. ISC will offer consulting assistance to the operator of the computer, server or service where possible in order to bring the access control into compliance as quickly as possible. D. Financial Implications: Costs associated with the implementation of authenticated access control are the responsibility of the computer, server or service operator. Please see the Policy on Troubleshooting Charges for Violations of PennNet Policies at www.isc-net.upenn.edu/policy/trfees.html for information on additional fees that may be assessed to cover the costs incurred in troubleshooting related to violations of this policy. E. Responsibility: Responsibility for remedy lies with the provider of the computer, server or service. F. Time Frame: Non-compliant devices must be remedied within two weeks of first notification from ISC Information Security, unless a special waiver is granted. G. Enforcement: Please see the Policy on Computer Disconnection from PennNet at www.upenn.edu/computing/policy/disconnect.html. H. Appeals: Please see the Appeals section of the Policy on Computer Disconnection from PennNet at www.upenn.edu/computing/policy/disconnect.html.

Safety and Security Tips for Thanksgiving Break 2001 If you are Leaving Penn for Thanksgiving Break: Register your residence with Public Safety for Special Checks during the Break. Secure or remove all valuables (i.e., jewelry, computers, stereos, televisions, etc.). All valuables should already be engraved with your Personal ID. Engravers are available at the Detective Unit, 4040 Chestnut Street, (215) 898-4485. Close and lock all windows; close all shades, drapes and blinds. Lock and bolt entrance doors to rooms or apartments. Use timers on lights and on a radio or television to give your residence the appearance of being occupied. Your answering device message should never indicate that you are not at home. Always use plural nouns even if you live alone (e.g., we re not available to take your call right now ). Don t use your name. Make sure that your exterior lighting works and turn all lights on. Preferably, exterior lights should be on a timer or photoelectric cell. If not, contact your landlord regarding these security devices before you leave for Break! Use one of the interior automated teller machines (ATMs). (Contact the Detective Unit, (215) 898-4485, for locations of interior ATMs). Avoid withdrawing money at night. Check the amount withdrawn only after you are safely inside your residence or office. Never display money in a crowd. Carry only necessary credit cards and money. Carry your wallet in an inside coat pocket or side trouser pocket. Carry your handbag tightly under your arm with the clasp toward your body. Never let it dangle by the handle. Keep your wallet or handbag closed and with you at all times. Never place it on the seat beside you, on the counter next to you or under a seat when dining. Be aware of your surroundings and the people around you, trust your instincts. Stay in welllighted and well-traveled areas. Walk with your head up, shoulders back and your eyes scanning the people around you. Use the buddy system or the Penn Transit System when traveling at night. From nonUniversity exchanges, dial (215) 898-RIDE (7433) for the vehicular escort service or (215) 898WALK (9255) for the walking escort service between the hours of 8 p.m. and 3 a.m., daily. If you are expecting guests or workers, do not open your door until you know it is the right person(s). Always ask to see identification of visitors you don t know. If accosted, don t resist! Don t panic! Get a good description, direction traveled, etc. and report the incident to the police as soon as possible. Know the locations of Penn s blue-light emergency telephones. Open the box, lift the receiver or push the button to talk. Report any suspicious activities to the police as soon as you can: Where, What, Who, When and How.
