Change and Compliance for Higher Education
Universities grow more "wired" by the day, and have dramatically increased their reliance on electronic creation, retrieval, transmission and storage of data.

In addition, the storage of personal data on alumni creates a major challenge in determining what is expected of them regarding compliance and how they will meet those expectations.
