Abstract:New technologies are being deployed at colleges and universities, creating new challenges for security, privacy and the management of information. FERPA has for years provided guidance for the handling of student information within educational institutions.The significant issues are no longer limited to the handling of student grades, transcripts, and class selections. Policy and legal issues are no longer limited to the implications of FERPA. In the networked world, medical information, information about discipline, about access to buildings, about library use, about times and places where individuals dine, where they use their money cards, where their digitized images are stored and how they are used, and many others cause issues of privacy to be extraordinarily complicated.In 1996, CAUSE, in cooperation with the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO), commissioned a task force to develop a white paper to assist colleges and universities in understanding these issues, and in developing policies that reflect best information practices. This paper presents key issues from that white paper.
