Hello Everyone,



In a meeting with peer institutions it was said that at the Federal level
there’s been discussions that university student information systems must
treat resident data as CUI and have their systems be compliant with NIST
800-171 or risk losing financial aid.  Has anyone heard something similar
to this or received communications about it?
