FERPA = Family Education Rights and Privacy Act
http://www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR
Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records
. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program
of the U.S. Department of Education.
FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's education re
cords. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18
or attends a school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights h
ave transferred are "eligible students."

Subject: Security tip for the day
Date: Mon, 03 Oct 2005 17:07:13 PDT
Today is the first working day of National Cyber Security Awareness Month
and in observance of this month the IT Security Office will email a
security tip a day during the month of October (Monday through Friday).
Security tip for today: (also discussed in today's NAC-Security meeting)
The automatic EPO agent deployment is reported to be 60-70% effective on
campus. Please use the automatic deployment method for the first level of
deployment and then follow up with a visit to each desktop/server as soon
as time allows to ensure the agent is properly installed.

Issues from Mary Ann Lyman-Hager:
I would like to add two possible agenda items, if it is not
too late. That is "internationalizing blackboard by getting the latest
updates..." We at SDSU are trying to internationalize the curriculum, yet
foreign language fonts are not supported in the current edition. Could we
not purchase the multi-lingual version? What would it take for the campus
to get this?
The second item is about leveraging CSU assets to get certain softwares and
assessment tools. Departments struggle to pose appropriate questions
regarding technology use. Some CSU campuses have subscriptions to programs
like "Flashlight" which enable faculty to create surveys and assessments
quickly and tally up results, along with statistics. This is important
information for WASC evaluations and departmental reviews.
