Because phishing your own employees is dumb...

Create a Rule in Outlook Client

• Open Outlook and, under the Home tab, click on the Rules button in the Move area.

• Click Create Rule…

!

• Click on the Advanced Options…button

!

• Scroll down to the option that says with specific words in the message header and check the box.

• Click on the specific words link

• In the text box enter X-Phish and then click Add. Your search list should say “X-Phish” with the quotes. This is expected behavior and your screen should look like this:

!

• Click OK to close the window.

• Back on the Rules Wizard screen click Next.

Now you have a choice as to what to do with the message:

• To assign it to a Phish category I select the assign it to the category category.

• Then I click on the category link to assign it to a category "Phish" (renamed from something else).

• Now when I receive a phishing email from UW System it flags it for me. I also have it flagged for follow-up in tasks.

• You can further add an action to forward the message to [email protected] and then move it to the trash.

Caveats:

• This rule will NOT flag all phishing emails and should not be used as a phishing identifying rule; it will however handle UW System-sponsored phishing emails if they do not change the custom header from the current one, X-Phish. Making this change would be tricky on their end, however, as it would break a lot of services. Maybe. Probably. It is unknown.

• Outlook must be running for the rule to work. If you primarily use WiscMail Web (Outlook on the web) the rule will not apply unless Outlook is also running.

It should be noted that the encampment was peaceful until police arrived.

Fixed the headline to accurately reflect what happened.

Email sent to the faculty and staff at UW Madison:

> On Friday, October 6, 2023, the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents approved a revised timeline for the implementation of Workday — the cloud-based system that will streamline and simplify administrative processes — as part of the Administrative Transformation Program (ATP). The Workday launch date, previously scheduled for July 2024, is now July 2025. > > The Administrative Transformation Program (ATP) is a UW System-wide initiative to standardize and simplify how finance, human resources (HR), and research administration tasks get done across all UW System institutions, allowing staff to refocus valuable time on UW’s mission of teaching, research, and public service. > > Getting it right is the driving principle behind this decision. The revised timeline allows for thorough product and process testing; integration of ancillary systems (current systems, tools, or applications that will interact with Workday); effective adoption of business process changes; and full realization of the benefits of Workday. > > We will share more details about the timeline revision, its impact on current and scheduled work, and next steps as we learn more. The UW‒Madison Change Readiness Network and other key stakeholders across campus will continue to work on the transition to Workday with no interruption or pause. Most UW‒Madison employees will not need to take any action until March 2025. > > The revised timeline for testing and training is: > End-to-end testing: July 2023 – August 2024 > User experience testing: August – October 2024 > Employee training: Begins March 2025 > Most UW‒Madison employees will start Workday training in March 2025. > > We appreciate your collaboration and continued support as we modernize our technology and standardize business processes across the UW System and at UW‒Madison. > > To learn more, visit UW‒Madison’s hub for news and resources about the Administrative Transformation Program, including Workday, at workday.wisc.edu. > > > UW‒Madison Change Readiness Leads >

Of course this delay can only stoke the unpleasant memories and lost tax revenue during the not-so-successful deployment of Lawson in 2005.

Let's get it right, and let's get it done on budget.

Failure of the administration to properly manage finances while simultaneously hiring more and more administrators in highly-paid positions has led to a million-dollar deficit at several UW campuses. To combat this, administration officials are not looking to cut their numbers but rather to furlough staff positions.
