"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."
"The UC has said it is required to comply with federal agencies' information requests related to investigations, compliance reviews and audits. 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 San Diego faculty expressed concern that students' and employees' personal information 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 declined to confirm whether San Diego students or staff were affected, what data was shared, how many people were involved, or when any sharing occurred, with UCSD deferring comment to the UC Office of the President. UC acknowledged sharing information about UC Berkeley students and employees to comply with a federal investigation and said it complies with legally required information requests while exploring legal avenues to protect privacy. UC Berkeley reported that personal information for 160 students, faculty and staff had been shared. Campuses must also provide certain data under a December resolution agreement with the federal government.
