As a full or part-time employee, student employee, work study student, temporary employee, volunteer, or intern at Drew University, I agree that I will not disclose any information I obtain about the University during the course of performing my duties (collectively “Confidential Information”). Confidential information includes information that may be protected from disclosure by federal or state law such as education records protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). Confidential Information also includes information concerning the University’s students or donors. The provisions contained in this agreement are considered conditions of my participation in programs and employment offered by the University. These provisions need to be initialed where indicated, signifying your understanding and agreement to abide by each.
I understand that unauthorized disclosure of such Confidential Information can adversely impact the University, individual persons, or affiliated organizations. This confidentiality agreement serves to verify that I have been made aware of the strict prohibition against inappropriate use of Confidential Information (See Confidential Information Examples below).
I understand that Drew University requires me to hold in confidence any information I may become privy to in the course of my work, volunteer activities, work study, and/or internship. Because this information is solely available to me as a result of my employment, work study, volunteer activities, or internship, I will not discuss, use, forward, print, copy, photograph, record, remove, alter or otherwise disseminate any Confidential Information that is given, shown, or available to me, or which otherwise comes to my attention, for purposes outside the legitimate scope of my work.
I agree to not access Confidential Information unless I am authorized to do so, and I agree to maintain the confidentiality and privacy of Confidential Information during and after my period of employment with the University.
I shall not, directly or indirectly, communicate orally, in writing, or by e-mail, social media, or through any other means, any Confidential Information to any unauthorized person, including, without limitation, other students, work colleagues, family members, etc.
I will take all necessary steps to ensure the safety, confidentiality, proper disposal and security of all academic, financial, personnel, student educational and other University records, whether during use on campus or during permitted off campus use at my remote work location, including but not limited to, proper measures to prevent anyone from gaining knowledge of my password or from gaining access to hard copies or electronic versions of University records; and report a breach of any of the foregoing immediately to my supervisor.
