Hi Anand:

We are affected, or at least that is what my treasurer, GC and myself believe based on our research into this.    I am 
currently going through the final set of red flag rules and trying to prepare a high level executive summary of what I 
think this means.  Of the 328 pages I have been able to drop it down to 120 and am hoping to get that to a document 
under 10 pages that is basically a  "this is what you should be doing" doc.

If interested in getting a copy of that document (probably be early next week before I am finished with it) just let me 
know.

-Kevin

Hi,

Does anyone know if Educational Institutions are affected by the FTC's Red flag rule about maintaining an Identity 
Theft program ? If yes has anyone implemented or has a roadmap for deployment?
In my opinion if the rule is indeed applicable, the Institution's Legal Counsel should drive the initiative and not IT.

Any suggestions are welcome.
