Hey Mac,

At this point, I'd say the answer is largely "no."  I agree the expectations are there, but they are more de facto.  We 
all list damage to institutional reputation when we are enumerating risks, but what I haven't seen is a causal reaction 
where a major breach happens and students steer away from that school to the point where FTE is impacted.

I think it's coming though, Europe's GDPR is being followed by some similar state level legislation around the US.  
That push is being driven by some real frustration with this string of private sector revelations: Equifax, Facebook, 
all the major carriers selling our location data and a feeling of helplessness watching those happen with no real 
consequences.

Colleagues,

Someone recently asked me the following question and I wondered what you would say.   I believe students and parents 
have reasonable expectations that we are both protecting their information and ensuring privacy.

  Do students hold universities accountable for protecting their information?
