Episode 5: Protection, Privacy & Policy
<p>This episode takes a close look at how educational institutions frame their responsibilities around student data privacy. Using SUNY Oswego as a case study, it breaks down what types of information schools collect, how they’re allowed to use it, and what protections are actually in place. The episode features an interview with a federal intelligence specialist in forensic linguistics, who explains how privacy policies use language to obscure rather than clarify.
