This episode takes a close look at how educational institutions frame their responsibilities around student data privacy. Using SUNY Oswego as a case study, it breaks down what types of information schools collect, how they’re allowed to use it, and what protections are actually in place. The episode features an interview with a federal intelligence specialist in forensic linguistics, who explains how privacy policies use language to obscure rather than clarify. From outdated federal guidelines to the overlooked risks of campus Wi-Fi, the episode challenges listeners to think critically about informed consent, digital exposure, and the need for clearer, student-centered data policy.
