Social media plays a large roll in todays society and it is another place where institutions need to balance and manage a students preference in sharing information. 

It is important to train employees on the proper way to maintain the security, confidentiality, and integrity of student information to support the code of conduct. 

I learned which pieces of information may be considered sensitive information regarding students and also what sometimes is not sensitive. Included in sensitive information would be, race, gender, social security number, grades, gpa, country of citizenship and religion. 

It is important to remain informed about FERPA, because it is what protects students and staff members information and keeps them safe.
