EDUCAUSE Webinar - The Rise of the Chief Privacy Officer (CPO) in Higher Ed on January 28.

[Brian Kelly <bkelly () EDUCAUSE EDU>]

I am excited to share that I will be moderating the EDUCAUSE Webinar - The Rise of the Chief Privacy Officer (CPO) in 
Higher Ed on January 28.


The number of chief privacy officers (CPOs) in higher education is on the rise. A recent EDUCAUSE research report, “The 
Evolving Landscape of Data Privacy in Higher Education,” highlights that many institutions have created privacy offices 
and CPO positions. Historically privacy was managed in a variety of ways by a variety of roles, including counsel or 
information security officers. Fueling the need for CPOs are the (sometimes conflicting) requirements of privacy and 
security and the inability of one role or office to devote sufficient time to both privacy and security. Privacy 
determines what is to be protected, often including ethical considerations, and provides for the rights of individuals. 
Security is generally a framework to protect. Uniquely, privacy risk must address risk to individuals and society as 
well as risks to the organization.



This panel will focus on the evolving role of the Chief Privacy Officer. We’ll explore recent research findings and 
hear first-hand from current Chief Privacy Officers on challenges and successes.



Outcomes

  *   Gain a better understanding of the emerging role of the chief privacy officer
  *   Learn why building privacy awareness takes time and effort
  *   Hear from current CPOs about their journeys
