WEBINAR: GDPR and U.S. Higher Education Institutions - Identifying Steps Needed to Comply with the Law

GDPR and U.S. Higher Education Institutions Webinar:
Identifying Steps Needed to Comply with the Law

Tuesday, October 24
1:00–2:00 p.m. EST
Presented by The Tambellini Group in collaboration with EDUCAUSE

Few issues keep higher education executives awake at night more than data privacy. As the new European data protection law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), comes into effect on May 25, 2018, higher education institutions must position themselves to mitigate risk and strengthen compliance efforts. This comprehensive and complex law covers all processing of personal data, not just data that could be considered private. This webinar addresses what higher education needs to understand about GDPR, including how it impacts higher education, and what steps need to be taken to be in compliance.

Key Questions Answered:

• How will GDPR likely affect U.S. higher education institutions in relation to student, employment and research data?
• How does the scope of GDPR go beyond that of similar U.S. statutes such as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) or the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA)?
• What are the fines associated with breaches of the GDPR?
• What preparations should be taken to be compliance-ready by the time GDPR comes into effect?
