"UC San Diego faculty are voicing concerns about students' and employees' personal information potentially being shared with the federal government for a civil rights investigation, raising concerns on campus that those people could end up being targeted by the Trump administration. Neither UCSD nor the University of California would say whether San Diego students and staff were affected, and if so how many, what information about them was shared or when their information may have been shared."
""Where a legal obligation has been identified, UC has complied with investigative requests consistently over many years and across numerous administrations, reflecting the University's overall commitment to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including applicable privacy laws," said UC general counsel Charles Robinson in a statement. "UC will continue to meet its legal obligations while exploring all legal avenues to safeguard the privacy and trust of our community members.""
UC San Diego faculty are concerned that personal information of students and employees may have been shared with the federal government as part of a civil rights investigation, raising fears of targeting by the Trump administration. UCSD and the University of California would not confirm whether San Diego students and staff were affected, how many people, what data was shared, or when sharing occurred; UCSD deferred to the UC Office of the President. The University of California acknowledged sharing information about UC Berkeley students and employees to comply with a federal investigation, stating that personal information of 160 Berkeley community members had been shared. The UC said it is required to comply with federal agencies' information requests related to investigations, compliance reviews, and audits, and that it will continue to meet legal obligations while exploring legal avenues to protect privacy and trust.
