Why the University Made This Change

As we continue efforts to protect the University community, the UT administration decided to implement security changes for alumni, retirees, and emeritus faculty at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, including the Institute of Agriculture and the Space Institute. Read the full announcement online.

In 2019, we required two-factor authentication for all active faculty, staff, and student accounts. It’s now time to require the same level of protection for our alumni, retirees, and emeritus faculty.
