As part of our legal responsibilities as a higher education institution, we must also understand and effectively apply the rules surrounding our students鈥� personally identifiable information. Beyond our legal requirements, we must educate and enforce federal and state regulations to maintain high standards to guide us in our daily University activities and behave in a manner that both respects the freedom of others and refrains from interfering with normal University business.
