POLICY STATEMENT

(1) Personal records designated as subject to restricted access in accordance with authority granted in ORS 351.065 shall be available only to the faculty member who is the subject of the records as provided for in OAR 580-022-0100 through 580-022-0115 and to institutional personnel, such as faculty, administrators, students and others serving on official institutional committees or in other official institutional capacities.

(2) Institutional rules shall provide for designation of institutional officials to appear in court to test the validity of a subpoena or other court order or process relating to release of faculty records when validity is in question.
