Yes, that was a legitimate email you received regrading
Dear IT Steering, IT Directors and IT Security Managers,
The e-mail below was sent University-wide earlier this morning as I understand. Please be aware you or your help desk may receive calls about the legitimacy of this training requirement. We have confirmed the training requirement is legitimate (as opposed to it being spam or a phishing attempt). In the mean time, we are presently doing a review with University Human Resources and the Office of General Counsel to assess the risk associated with the password policy for this application.
Thank you.
