What the university has done is set a clear policy to respect the privacy of all of its members with respect to their electronic communications. It's making a blanket policy that we're not going to routinely monitor, inspect or access student electronic information.
It is important for students to understand and be aware of their privacy rights and their limits of their rights.
Every citizen has a right to inspect public record. However, any information related to students is considered an educational record that belongs to the student, which is not considered a public record.
