Legal Affairs Training Sessions
Privacy on Campus: Managing Student & Employee Data with Confidence
Privacy questions arise daily on campus. Knowing when sensitive information can be shared—and when it must remain confidential—is essential for maintaining legal compliance and building institutional trust.
This practical session explores the key privacy frameworks that university supervisors, faculty, and staff navigate most. We will break down:
- Student Privacy: Demystifying FERPA guidelines.
- Health Information: Navigating HIPAA in a university setting.
- Employee Protections: Understanding confidentiality boundaries related to medical leave under the FMLA, ADA, and more.
Through scenarios and common workplace examples, the presenters will discuss what you need to know about collecting, accessing, using, and disclosing sensitive information. Attendees will gain practical guidance to help them make informed decisions about handling sensitive student and employee information, maintaining appropriate confidentiality, and avoiding common privacy pitfalls.
Presenters: André Lindsay, Senior Associate General Counsel and Isabel Alele, Associate General Counsel
