Committee reviews confidentiality clause affecting university-student contracts
Summary
A Senate committee reviewed language in a bill tightening confidentiality for agreements between students, universities and personnel, including remedies for unauthorized disclosure and a reference to an athletic-agent statute.
The committee chair summarized proposed edits to a bill that would keep agreements and proposed agreements between students, the university and university personnel confidential except as provided by the article or by court order. "This is a confidentiality clause, that's probably similar to other confidentiality clauses that y'all have seen," the chair said.
The chair pointed to specific lines in the draft (including a provision at line 50 and an athletic-agent-related provision near line 83) that define damages and remedies for unauthorized disclosure and extend confidentiality requirements to agents. Committee members did not request changes; a motion that the bill be "title sufficient to pass" was made and the chair announced there was no opposition.
