The Office of the General Counsel is responsible for advising University departments, units, and administrators on the application of various laws designed to protect the privacy interests of students and others. Among these laws is the Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which protects students from the unauthorized release of their educational records, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which protects the privacy of financial consumers' non-public personal information.
