Follow best practices for transparency about student privacy practices

Abstract

Being transparent about data sharing can help alleviate student concerns, said officials at the Department of Education's Privacy Technical Assistance Center. They presented a webinar on transparency best practices and released guidance in a document titled “Transparency Best Practices for Schools and Districts.” Although the guidance was directed mainly at K–12 officials, much of it applies to higher education, said Baron Rodriguez, PTAC director, speaking during the webinar. FERPA requires institutions to provide an annual notification to students. In addition, PTAC recommends that, as a best practice, institutions provide the following information about their privacy policies.
