Elimination of Social Security Numbers (SSNs) as Primary IdentifiersFederal and state law requires the collection of your Social Security number (SSN) for certain purposes (for example, IRS reporting forms). However, widespread use of an individual's SSN is a major privacy concern. With incidents of identity theft increasing, steps to secure an individual's SSN become more important. A large number of colleges and universities use SSNs as primary identifiers for faculty, staff, and students, which exposes institutions to risk because of changing legal and security environments. Therefore, many institutions are planning for the migration away from SSN use as a primary identifier. Undertaking such a task raises issues, challenges, and opportunities for any institution. EDUCAUSE has identified links concerning the elimination of SSNs as primary identifiers that may be useful to the higher education community. Many of these links have been contributed by EDUCAUSE members. If you have additional resources you would like to include on this page, send the information to: contribute@educause.edu 67 reads
