75 Year Restrictions
(A) Education Records / Student Information
Under FERPA, "education records" include all records, in all tangible formats (print, electronic, visual, etc.) that are directly related to currently or formerly enrolled students and are maintained by an academic institution. MIT distinguishes between two types of educational records, "student information" and "directory information."
(B) Faculty & Staff records
(C) Patient Records/Humans as Research Subjects
MIT Medical Health Plan manages its own set of patient records. However, the definition of “patient” records can be interpreted more broadly, and these types of records relating to research experiments may be included either in papers of faculty heading research projects, or in the administrative collection of a lab. Federal and state laws apply to patient and medical records.
(D) Gifts Records
Individuals, foundations, and businesses are routinely approached by the Resource Development staff at MIT who are seeking “gifts” or financial donations. Any preliminary interaction of this nature between MIT staff and an outside party is restricted because of privacy concerns. As donations are actually made, information may turn up in records of departments, building or planning records, as well as in the more usual places—records of the Resource Development Office, records of the President, records of the Chairman of the Corporation. In particular, note if individual names are on lists.
(E) Personally Identifiable Information (PII) / Personal Information Requiring Notification (PIRN)
PIRN is an MIT acronym, which is currently equivalent to “personal information” under MA 201 CMR §17, and is defined in the WISP as a person's first name and last name or first initial and last name in combination with any one or more of the following data elements that relate to such a person: Social Security number (SSN), driver’s licence number/state issued ID number, financial account number, or debit/credit card number.
