We do not want this President Winograd

Will the college never stop trying to give us things that we don’t want? Without asking the community college has now put every employee at the college at risk of identification theft and now they are promoting it on the web like it is a good thing. We are not even given the chance to refuse the service. Our personal and private sensitive information is now there for hackers to get at. I don’t care if the college has security because I don’t want the service in the first place. There should be a law that protects the private information of employees from being placed on a website without written permission of each employee in this state. Anyone who has every used the web knows the risk of putting private information where hackers could get to it but our community college leadership is too computer illiterate to understand the risk they are putting us in by using this program. Top down CEO style management is a failure in this country and should be done away with before it harms educational employees in this state.


"Your Employee Info Securely, Conveniently Accessible in my CNM

Employees can securely and conveniently access their payroll, tax and benefits information online within “my CNM.” Employees access their sensitive information through a Banner application that is proven to be secure. It’s the same Banner application used by colleges and universities across the country and CNM’s Office of Information Technology Services used the latest, state-of-the-industry best practices for information security to install and implement this well-tested product. Other recent efforts to fortify the security of CNM’s online environment also include the 15-30 character password and a “timeout” mechanism that logs out unattended computers.

Your employee information, including your latest W2 statement, is available in my CNM under the “Employee” tab. If you haven’t done so already, take some time to familiarize yourself with my CNM. Enter my CNM by clicking on the my CNM link in the left-hand column on the front page of the main website or
click here. Log on by using the same username and password you use to access the regular CNM network. The employee tab is located in the row of tabs across the top section of the page. If you experience problems logging on to my CNM, or if you simply have questions, please contact the ITS Service Desk by calling Ext. 4357 or send an e-mail to helpdesk@cnm.edu."

If you have to hack someones information just remember that the president of the college makes $206,000 a year and has benefits as well.
