Post-Pandemic Future: Implications for Privacy
The time has come for privacy to expand beyond compliance to include determinations about what should be protected and consideration of ethical implications, balancing institutional priorities with the rights of individuals. The intersection of issues including COVID-19, student success, and the emergence of the chief privacy officer (CPO) role highlights the growing importance of privacy in higher ed for 2021 and beyond. Going forward, privacy must be baked into all decisions made by institutional leaders.

The Evolving Landscape of Data Privacy in Higher Education
Privacy in higher education has historically been managed in a variety of ways by different roles and positions, including legal counsel and information security officers. Fueling the need for chief privacy officers (CPOs) are (sometimes conflicting) privacy and security requirements and the difficulty for one role or office to devote sufficient time to both privacy and security. Instituting the role of CPO at your institution may be your transformational solution to addressing these needs.
