Note: This chapter of the Information Security Guide will serve as a clearinghouse for sharing higher education privacy materials. While privacy is a discipline distinct from information security, sharing privacy information in this resource is appropriate given the many collaborations necessary between higher education information security and privacy programs to ensure the comprehensive protection of institutional data.

Welcome Kit and Roadmap for Chief Privacy Officers in Higher Education
The Higher Education Chief Privacy Officers Working Group has created this resource to serve as a welcome kit for CPOs in higher education. The CPO Primer (part one) is intended to provide an overview and introductory body of knowledge to help new CPOs (or those new to higher education) better understand their job and the challenges unique to colleges and universities. The main audience for this document is a CPO or person with primary institutional responsibility for privacy. The CPO Primer covers the following topics:
- Privacy’s role in higher education and how the privacy officer and privacy function fit within a college or university’s organizational structure
- Key areas of focus and components of a privacy programs
- The relationship between (and balance of) privacy and security
- Basic information about federal, state, and international privacy laws applicable to higher education (appendix A)
- Common privacy frameworks and standards (appendix B)
- Professional resources that provide support or guidance and a brief list of recommended readings (appendix C)
The CPO Primer (part two) is intended to build on the guidance offered in the welcome kit and provide a roadmap describing how to kick-start or enhance your privacy program in higher education and how to operationalize it using some of the frameworks, key components, and resources mentioned in the welcome kit. In addition to offering ideas for framing your program and activities at the starting gate—as well as at the 100-day and one-year benchmarks—this roadmap offers practical guidance on how to build a program to address day-to-day privacy concerns in a higher education setting.
