EPIC Urges Wisconsin Legislature to Safeguard Student Privacy
In testimony for the Wisconsin legislature, EPIC urged state lawmakers to protect student privacy. EPIC's testimony: (1) explained how the U.S. Education Department weakened key safeguards for student records, (2) described the privacy risks that students today face, (3) underscored the need for data security safeguards for student information, and (4) recommended that Wisconsin adopt EPIC's Student Privacy Bill of Rights. EPIC has previously urged Congress, the Education Department, and the Federal Trade Commission to strengthen student privacy. EPIC's State Policy Project is monitoring privacy bills nationwide.
