Campus Records Management Program

Recent changes in state and federal law affecting the creation, maintenance, and disclosure or dissemination of information from campus records - including the federal USA PATRIOT Act and the CAN-SPAM Act, and amendments to the state Information Practices and Public Records Act -- have prompted new initiatives by the campus administration to ensure that all staff who handle student, employee, or faculty records, are aware of and understand their administrative responsibilities under both applicable policy and the law. In all cases, the primary challenge facing the campus will be to strike an appropriate balance between ensuring the protection of the privacy of students, staff and faculty, while at the same time meeting our legal obligations to disclose.

On May 1, 2008, Associate Chancellor Linda Williams was appointed by the Chancellor to serve as the Campus Information Practices Coordinator with broad responsibility for coordinating campus records management, policy development and dissemination, and providing advice, information, and, where appropriate, training to unit records personnel on records management matters such as departmental responses to Public Records Act requests, as defined in Business and Finance Bulletin RMP-1. In this regard, Associate Chancellor Williams will be assisted by Alan Kolling, campus Public Records Act Coordinator, and Susan Combs, manager, Chancellor's Communications and Resource Center (CCRC).
