40 Faculty Handbook – August 2022 • Simply being a university employee does not constitute legitimate educational interests. Your need to know must be related to your job responsibilities in support of the university’s educational mission. • Your legitimate education interest is limited to what you need to know for your job. If anyone perceives a health or safety threat, call 911 and notify the Dean of Students or designee/senior administration if the situation is immediate.
