As George Fox University employees increasingly use Google Apps for conducting university business, it is important that the data being stored there is secure and stored in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Institutional Technology is implementing new processes that will help users identify documents that could potentially expose restricted data. There are a few key details of this process that are important to know:

• This process is governed by the Cloud Data Privacy and Data Loss Prevention Policy. This policy is intended to ensure the privacy of individual’s files and set guidelines for protecting restricted data.
• Beginning Aug. 1, users will start receiving notices of files that potentially expose restricted information to unauthorized users.
• In rare cases where restricted data is shared in a manner that violates privacy laws or regulations, public or domain-wide sharing may be revoked automatically. In other cases, the user will be given notice to ensure that the data is being shared in an appropriate fashion.

When traveling on behalf of the university, please make sure you are helping choose the most economical option.

First determine whether it is more economical to rent a car or use your personal vehicle. This can be done using the mileage calculator on the financial affairs webpage.

The university will reimburse at the lower of the two amounts. It is also important to determine if it is less expensive to fly to your
destination or to drive. If it is less expensive to fly and you choose to drive, the university will reimburse you for the lesser of the two amounts.

Please consult the University Travel Policy or contact Matt Hammar (mhammar@georgefox.edu) with any questions.

Your fall books are available at georgefoxshop.com! Here are two great ways to save money on your books.

Renting

• 40-80 percent off retail price.
• Books can be highlighted and written in. Just don’t break the binding!
• Convert to purchase at any time by simply paying the remainder of the original retail price.
• Books are due back the last day of semester finals.
• Renting is a highly recommended way to save money on textbooks and is cheaper than buying and reselling at the end of the semester.

Price Matching

• We match prices of Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Chegg and Powell’s.
• A Bruin Store gift card is issued for the price difference which can be used on all store merchandise, including other textbooks.
• Price matching can only be done in store

Remember, we offer free shipping for in-store pickup! Follow the_bruin_store on Instagram.

Turnitin will perform an upgrade on Monday, July 18. The new version of the service, called Feedback Studio, offers the same functionalities, but with a simplified, more intuitive interface that is accessibility compliant. The new interface combines the Similarity report and GradeMark feedback in one convenient view for both faculty and students.

The procedure for creating an assignment using Turnitin will remain the same. Once upgraded, you can expect to see a new interface when you open up a student’s paper in Turnitin. Your students will also experience this new interface when viewing Similarity Reports and receiving feedback.

Note: We do not anticipate any disruption of service in FoxTALE during this upgrade.

View the video demo here and try out an interactive demo at this link.
