Students of American Universities
| Title: | An Examination of Online Privacy Issues for
Students of American Universities (ID: CSD4039) | | Author(s): | Diana Orrick (Florida State University) | | Origin: | Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2003) | | Type: | Articles, Papers, and Reports | | Abstract: | An increasing amount of information is being published on the Internet by institutions of higher learning about persons within the educational community. Once the information is available online, the community boundary expands significantly from the
telephone directory previously distributed only on campus.
As personal information becomes more widely available, what steps are being taken to protect the privacy of members within the university community? What are the key elements of privacy policies implemented at American universities? How does an
institution recognize the need and build a privacy policy? What considerations should be given for the privacy of persons outside the university accessing university web sites? How will privacy be affected in the post 9/11 university environment? This paper examines, by a survey sample of American higher educational institutions; the current methods employed to protect personal information made available through universities' Internet presence. | | View this resource: | |
