1.23 Social Security Number Policy
Given that social security numbers are highly confidential and legally protected, the University shall protect the privacy and legal rights of its employees and students, including potential employees and potential students, by the institutionalization of safeguards on the collection and use of social security numbers. To this end, the University will work diligently toward the disuse of social security numbers as common identifiers, except where required for employment, financial aid, and other legal transactions. When the social security number is required or requested, a disclosure statement will be provided in compliance with the Federal Privacy Act of 1974, the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and other applicable federal and state laws.
