Canvas Update

Dear USF Community,

We are writing with a welcome update on the Canvas cybersecurity incidents from last week

On Monday afternoon, Instructure CEO Steve Daly shared that an agreement has been reached with the unauthorized actor, the affected data has been returned, and copies have been deleted. This is a positive outcome we all had hoped to see. We expect that Canvas will continue to be fully operational. 

His full update is available here

Thank you for your patience and understanding throughout these last days of the semester. President Aceves and our cabinet colleagues join us in wishing you all the very best as you wrap up your finals and bring this academic year to a close. We look forward to celebrating with you at next week’s graduation ceremonies.

Sincerely,

Eileen Fung
Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs
