Survey of Online Privacy Practices in Higher Education
Top U.S. universities failing in online privacy. ‘A new national survey of top-ranked universities and colleges shows these schools’ online privacy policies aren’t nearly as stellar as their scholastics. Many fail to properly secure sensitive data and to adequately explain just what happens to information provided during online transactions. The survey involved examinations of some 175,000 Web pages from schools listed in the 2004 issue of U.S. News and World Report listing America’s best colleges. Automated probes of Web pages by technology partner Watchfire Corp., which specializes in online risk management software, crawled pages originating from each school’s home page and undergraduate admissions, human resource and athletics sections.’
