Subject: [SECURITY] Impact of Patriot Act on Higher Education

Friends:

On Tuesday, March 9, the Cornell University Office of Information
Technologies is sponsoring an all-day educational review of the impact
that the Patriot Act, and other anti-terrorist legislation, is having on
Cornell (and by extension, to a large degree, to all of higher
education).   http://www.cit.cornell.edu/oit/ucpl/patriot.html
<http://www.cit.cornell.edu/oit/ucpl/patriot.html> 

One event, mid-day, will be a live broadcast (with archived video to
follow later that day) of a panel discussion with our Vice President of
Student and Academic Services, Vice-Provost for Research, and University
Librarian. (See web page for more details.)  

Given questions about foreign student applications and tracking (see
today's Chronicle story:
<http://chronicle.com/temp/email.php?id=s99t1rj01gpvqlwf6xd67unwe4apb08y
> , the deleterious effect regulations have had on research using
"select agents" and electronic surveillance generally, we thought a
discussion concretely addressing these issues for higher education would
be of general interest.

Thanks, Tracy
