Potential data breach involving Canvas

Denison Security

Denison is aware of a data breach involving Instructure, the parent company of Canvas, our learning management system. This reported data breach is a nationwide event affecting multiple institutions.

Currently, Denison has not been notified of any direct impact to our campus. Canvas continues to be available for use by faculty, staff, and students.

Updates from Instructure are available on their status page. We will continue to monitor the situation and will provide updates if and when new information is available.

Denison aims to promote the use of inclusive language. While we value the use of inclusive language, terms that are outside of Denison's direct influence are sometimes required for the sake of maintaining user understanding. As other join Denison in embracing the use of inclusive language, Denison will continue to update the documentation to reflect those changes.
