Students concerned with directory profile security options

Some students are concerned that UK
makes too much of their personal information
available to the public on the college's online
directory without enough options to restrict it.

The information available on the Internet
can include a student's campus address. campus
phone number. permanent home address. per—
manent home phone number and e-mail ad—
dress.

“That contact information is supposed to be
private." said Jenni Law lor. a secondary science
education freshman. "No one‘s even supposed
to be able to access it."

The switch to the new online format
linkblue on UK's Web site. which groups Out-

look Exchange e-mail system. blackboard and
myLlK together did not change the availability
of personal information. said Sidney Scott. a
technical administrator for the Information
Technology Customer Service Center.

The switch did make the directory search
broader. with more search options. Scott said.

“We are just trying to make it easy to sign
on to everything online by using one II) and
password." Scott said. “The registrar's office
has the student information. We are the facilita-
tor. but they decide what information we pub—
lish."

Any student. faculty or staff member can
ask that their information be restricted. but they
cannot pick specific pieces of information to
take out. Instead. they can only request that all
of their profile be deleted.

“(The registrar's office) doesn't just mask a
piece of the profile. they mask all of it." Scott
said. “If an outside source searches for a stu~
dent who has a privacy flag. they won‘t find
any record of a student‘s existence here at UK."

Some students said this poses a problem for
many who want to keep some of their informa-
tion private but not deter potential employers
from finding them.

“Hopefully in the future there will be a
change in the extent to which students can con-
trol these features." Scott said.

If students do not specifically request their
directory information to be blocked. UK allows
the disclosure of all personal information. ac-
cording to the registrar's office.

“I‘ve never had a problem with stalkers in
the past so I don’t care. but I don‘t like it for

the girls." said Terry Driggs. a graduate archi-
tecture student. “There are a lot of pretty girls
here and they should be able to pick what they
want to have online."

Both students and faculty have approached
the Violence Intervention and Prevention Cen-
ter concerned with having personal information
posted online. said Dorothy Edwards, director
of the VIP center.

“We certainly know that the web has be—
come a tool for stalkers." Edwards said.
“Clearly students should have full control
about what personal information is posted on-
line.“

An online profile can be restricted by go-
ing to the Office of the Registrar in the
Funkhouser Building with a photo ID. and
filling out a privacy form.

Doug Reynolds, the throwing coach for UK's Track and
Field Team, worked with his players yesterday at the
Shively Outdoor Track. The NCAA currently limits the team
to only eight hours of practice a week. Starting in three
weeks, the team returns to a full weekly practice schedule

of 20 hours. All of the athletes are training for the Olympic

tryouts starting in June 2008.

Greeks
discuss
their racial
divide

By Weﬂgyjobinson

news@kykernel.com

Greek and nonvGreek students
came together last night to offer solu-
tions to the divisions between white
and black Greek organizations.

The Greek Relations Forum in
the Center Theater was an informal
gathering set up to build relationships
between historically black and white
Greek organizations. as well as to
break down the stereotypes that many
non—Greek students have about Greek
life.

“The university as a whole is seg-
regated." said political science sopho—
more Shenneka Nwachukwu. who is
not a member of a Greek organiza-
tion. “Why not integrate" There isn‘t
any place in life where you go and its
just blacks. just whites. just Indians.
just Asians."

One concern addressed by the
panel. made up of Greek students and
Greek faculty. was the perception that
some campus events. such as K Week
and homecoming. cater to the white
Greek community and typically do
not involve historically black Greek
organizations or non-Greek students.

Most of the panel said UK makes
little attempt to reach out to black fra—
ternities and sororities. which is a
reason they might not be as involved
in campus events.

The fact that there are no black
Greek houses on campus results in
less communication between black
Greeks and UK. the panel said.

The panel suggested that the seg—
regation between these groups comes
from differing practices of their orga»
ni/ations‘ traditions. Alan DeSantis.

sor who was on the panel. gave an

Several members of the audience
said the music and activities at these
campus events do not attract black
students. which results in their orga-
nizations fonning their own events to
involve the black community.

The panel also focused on goals
to bridge their differences.

For Todd Cox. there is no such

thing as a typical day at the office.

“I may have a day where I‘m
working with SIU‘

next I‘m working
to make sure stu—

said. “It‘s what I

"I was hoping to work with stu-

One of Cox's main priorities is ad-

One project Cox said he has been

Students with questions about
law school can find answers from
degree programs around the country
at today‘s Law Day.

Phi Alpha Delta law fraternity
sponsors the annual event that will
take place from 10 run. to 2 pm. on
the first ﬂoor of the White Hall
Classroom Building and will offer
infomiation and advice for students
interested in pursuing a law degree.

"Many students are looking to
get into law school and (Law Dayl
allows them to see whether or not
they would want to attend." said
Nate Simon. president of Phi Alpha
Delta

Representatives from around 25
law schools including the Universi-
ty of Notre Dame. Vanderbilt llni—
vcrsity' and the University of

I.ouis\ille will set up tables of in-
formation. Simon called the event a
"law school fair."

“It gives students a good oppor-
tunity to meet a variety of different
law schools and meet them person~
ally Simon said.

Nearly II) more schools were
added to the event this year and Si—
mon said he and Phi Alpha Delta
are enthusiastic about the increase
in participants.

The quality of UK's academics
could be one factor for the increase
in the number of schools attending
Law Day. he said.

“UK has risen to the level of
academic excellence where schools
want to come." Simon said.

He credited the “high—caliber
performance of students" for this
improvement in academics and the

nior. ”The most important thing you
learn in college is how to deal With
people. Let‘s work on the similarities
and improving our campus."

The panel concluded that the
commonalities between black and
white Greeks are philanthropy. social
events. and brother- and sisterhood.

“As a minority you always have
to learn about something other than
yourself said graduate student Jared
Williams. an Alpha Phi Alpha mem-
her.

The panel and audience agreed
that the change must be mutual. not
only pursued by one side.

“Don't expect the institution to
make the change," said Laura Wes-
ley. vice president of Delta Delta
Delta sorority and a middle school
education senior. “Let's be Greeks
and work together."
