IMCanadaConnect – Data Privacy, Higher Education – Why Should We Care?

Today’s student attitudes toward data privacy will shape the policies and practices that govern the internet.

Society needs to better understand college student attitudes, expectations, and behaviors regarding data privacy, and take a more active role in shaping behaviors. As students have become more aware of this ongoing data collection and use, they have begun to express their concerns and desires to limit the use of their data to guide institutional decision making.

Recommendations will address the collection and use of personal data, and how to gain student trust in managing their private information.

Session starts Wednesday, February 28 at 12:00 CST
