Is Maryland’s New Higher Ed Privacy Law a Harbinger of Things to Come?

Will Sweeney reports:

With the fall semester in full swing, college students aren’t the only ones with homework to do. Higher education institutions in Maryland must comply with the state’s new privacy law, Maryland Code Title 10, Subtitle 13A, as of Oct. 1.

While this law is specific to Maryland, universities outside the state shouldn’t kick their feet up just yet. Many of this law’s requirements are considered data privacy and cybersecurity best practices and could become mandates across more states and perhaps nationally in the coming years.

Title IV universities must already comply with several federal laws concerning data privacy and cybersecurity, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), to receive funding. However, many states are passing their own data privacy laws amid a rise in cyberattacks, especially in the higher education sector.
