Areas of interest in this section:
- The GLB act. This is the first time that I have heard of this act and used as a supplemental to FERPA.
- The proper retention of records.
- Vendors can be held accountable to SOX also.
- Adherence to copy write laws and software licenses are integral and must be monitored consistently.
- Publishers now publish on demand texts (this is very helpful to know for SMEs).
Comment on Sharan Ravishankar's post: That was something new for me too
It is not required to save all files indefinitely.
The thing that I took away was that Sarbanes-Oxley was used in schools as a form of regulation. I thought that was pretty interesting.
1st item of interest to me was the regulation on the DO NOT CALL directory and the 9pm to 8am prohibiton on telemarketers calls.
2nd- FSLA, as a supervisor in the administrative staff's human resources area the requirements of licenses was important.
3rd- Student records security is very important and and that email should be maintained as secure as the student data in our system.
Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLB) Act
My takeaway in these sections on the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. It provides specific guidelines for privacy. This is important for me because privacy continues to be an issue today.
During this course I learned about audit internveiw questions. I look forward to reviewing these questions with each department to flush out any areas of improvement.
During this course I learned about the different regulations as it pertains to adjunct instructors. This information was relevent to me, because I am currently an adjunct instructor. I will apply this information, to ensure that my education and skill sets meet the requirments neccessary for my professional growth.
