Cross President �II-10 PRESERVATION OF PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY OF RECORDS Members of the College community are frequently asked for information about other persons in the Swarthmore community. The guideliries in Part I of this policy statement deal with questions of privacy; those in Part II with problems of confidentiality of official records. Any staff member in doubt about the application of tffe~~ guidelines to a particular situation should consult his supervisor; any faculty member or student with such a question should consult an appropriate member of the College administration. Departures from the guidelines may be made only by express permission of the President. P~rt I Privacy of Students, Faculty, Staff 1. Verification of the authenticity of requests for information. The credentials of any person requesting information should be checked. All police officials, government agents , and journalists have identification cards with photographs. If there is doubt about the authenticity of an identification card , the office of the person requesting the information should be called , and an attempt made to determine whether the request has been duly authorized. If requests for information concerning a member of the College community are received by mail, that person should, whenever pOSSible, be consulted to verify the legitimacy of the request. Agents of the F.B.I. or members of other investigative agencies of the government checking applicants for federal employment should be asked to show an authorization signed by the person under investigation, or similar evidence that the investigation has a specific, legitimate purpose related to employment or promotion in the government. If the investigator does not have such eVidence, he should be asked to secure it before information is given. 2. Ideas and Information. In a college community, students, faculty members , and staff will learn much about the ideas and beliefs of one another. This process should not be contaminated by the fear that ideas and beliefs, expressions and convictions, are being surreptitiously monitored, or systematically reported to persons or agencies outside the community. Intellectual freedom and mutual trust are indispensible to one another. In classrooms and seminars , in informal discussions in dormitories, dining rooms, and libraries, teachers and students must be free to adventure in ideas and expressions. The communications system of the College, including the telephone and mail facilities, may not be used for surveillance. Messages to and from members of the College community must not be intercepted or monitored, nor information about the origin or destination of messages collected. Information fortuitously gained by those operating the communications system should not be passed on to others. Information gained in the cleaning of faculty offices student rooms, or other facilities is confidential , unless a violation of the law or of College regulations is apparent, in which case appropriate College authorities are to be notified. �," II-ll When members of the community observe cr:i1n:inal activity, the Deans or the Director of the Physical Plant or the Head Residents of dormito~ies or Proctors should be called whenever possible; if it is necessary to call the police, such College authorities normally place the call. 3. Special areas of privacy. Although investigcr,t ions by government agencies usually do not require the respondent to divulge specific information, they usually request an evaluation of such information -- for example, the evaluation of a student's or faculty member's ideas, statements, or behavior. If the respondent feels that the subject to be recommended is not suited to the position for which he has applied, for reasons unrelated to his academic abilities, the respondent should exercise utmost care and discretion in his statement; it is possible and often advisable to give a negative recommendation without stating reasons. If the respondent feels any doubt about the loyalty of a current or past member of the College commul1ity because of his thoughts, opinions, statements, or beliefs, as distinct from his character or stability of personality, a 'Vlritten statement to the investigating authority l-Jill minimize the possibility of ambiguity or misunderstanding. Whenever possible or appropriate, a copy should also be sent to the person under investigation so that he may have the opportunity of presenting the investigating agency with a rebuttal. Police and F.B.I. officials have, on occasion, sought information about the College community, or organizations or individuals within it, l-Jhich bears no clear relation to any criminal activity or employment situation. Such requests should be referred to the appropriate job-supervisor, Dean, or Provost. Hormally, requests for information by the news media are referred to the Ne't'1s Office. Requests for information from outside organizations or research groups are normally handled by the Registrar. There may be occasions on which a faculty or staff member may wish to seek counsel from another member of the community in regard to difficulties he is aware of in a stUdent or faculty member's ability to perform his work. In such an event, scrupulous regard must be shown to the privacy to which the person under discussion is preeminent~ entitled. The rooms of stUdents are accorded as much privacy as possible, but such privacy is not absolute. The College provides maid service for stUdent rooms; it instructs maids not to open drawers or closets, but to report to appropriate authorities in the College visible violations of the la't"l or College policies. 1'10reover, the College reserves the right to make inspections of dormitory premises when there are grounds for suspecting violations therein. Such inspections are conducted by College personnel with witnesses present. If major ~e­ pair work is to be performed on a student's room during his absence, he is normally notified in advance. �II-12 No student is obliged to comply with surveys or questionnaires that .may reach him, except for official College inquiries. Problems regarding .the ethics of research method or other similar issues associated with questionnaires and surveys may be referred to the Committee on Research Ethics, or to the Deans. 4.

PENNSYLVANIA 19081 ,. OF'FlCE OF' THE PRESID E NT (215) KI 4· 7900 7 April 1971 To all members of th e College community: I had assumed that al~ of us recogniz e d what constituted proper relations with those individuals and agencies, public and private, off- campus and on-campus, with whom members of the College comnunity come in contact. I t is unreasonable to assume that there "Jill be ~. contact; the College c annot try to be a s e cret society, and it would be as impossible, as it would be unwise to try, to enforce such an expectation. We cannot presume that members of the commun ity wil l remain on all occasions si lent about the college life they are a part of. The College needs to be in contact with the I10utside world l1 on such diverse matters as the cert ifi cation of student enrollment and achievement, the availability of fire and police protection, the visits of scholars from other institutions, the presenc e of neighbors and friends at social, cultural, educational, and athletic events, etc. But all of us must recognize that at times we have access to information ab out individuals and groups at the Coll ege because we are specially privile ged to be members of the College community. We all have an obl igation to be responsible and discreet about how we communi cat e thi s information. The recent publication of a spate o f documents allege dly stolen from the FBI sug_· gests the possibility tha t some individuals have gone beyond the limit s of reasonable coop eration, by supplying information which is esp ecial ly privileged - private to individuals or the College. For the past week, I have been investigati ~ every allegation that has been published, l phoned in, or shown to me o r my associates that implied that persons in this community - student s, fac ulty, members of the staff - have given out information that was con fidential. I have refrained from acting on the basis of anonymous information, and I have avoided, and will continue to avoid, any use of surreptitious info rman ts, eavesdropping, or any othe r kind of one -sided surveillance. I don't believe that a coll ege can remain a co llege and indulge in such activities. I have not yet found any conclusive evidence that any member cf the College community has been guilty of wrong-doing in this respec t . �Yet I feel -obliged to make perfectly clear to all members of this community that they-must exercise intelligent restraint in divulging information, except that required by law or by college policy arid practice, to any individuals, public or private, outside the community. Not to heed this injunction is to put in jeopardy one's right to further participation in the community. Where doubt exists about the propriety of con~unicating information (however obtained) about the community to individuals or agencies outside the c0nn-nunity, . the individual should consult in advance with an apprrpriate officer of the College. I may add that I have made vigorous representations to public authorities - federal, state, and local - protesting alleged invasions of the proper autonomies of the College community. Our major rec ours e must be, however, to the self-discipline exercLsed by each of us. I am also designating a committee, made up of faculty, students and members of the administration, to advise me.

Cross . . - � SWARTHMORE COLLEGE SWARTHMORE . PENNSYLVANIA 19081 ,. OF'FlCE OF' THE PRESID E NT (215) KI 4· 7900 7 April 1971 To all members of th e College community: I had assumed that al~ of us recogniz e d what constituted proper relations with those individuals and agencies, public and private, off- campus and on-campus, with whom members of the College comnunity come in contact. I t is unreasonable to assume that there "Jill be ~. contact; the College c annot try to be a s e cret society, and it would be as impossible, as it would be unwise to try, to enforce such an expectation. We cannot presume that members of the commun ity wil l remain on all occasions si lent about the college life they are a part of. The College needs to be in contact with the I10utside world l1 on such diverse matters as the cert ifi cation of student enrollment and achievement, the availability of fire and police protection, the visits of scholars from other institutions, the presenc e of neighbors and friends at social, cultural, educational, and athletic events, etc. But all of us must recognize that at times we have access to information ab out individuals and groups at the Coll ege because we are specially privile ged to be members of the College community. We all have an obl igation to be responsible and discreet about how we communi cat e thi s information. The recent publication of a spate o f documents allege dly stolen from the FBI sug_· gests the possibility tha t some individuals have gone beyond the limit s of reasonable coop eration, by supplying information which is esp ecial ly privileged - private to individuals or the College. For the past week, I have been investigati ~ every allegation that has been published, l phoned in, or shown to me o r my associates that implied that persons in this community - student s, fac ulty, members of the staff - have given out information that was con fidential. I have refrained from acting on the basis of anonymous information, and I have avoided, and will continue to avoid, any use of surreptitious info rman ts, eavesdropping, or any othe r kind of one -sided surveillance. I don't believe that a coll ege can remain a co llege and indulge in such activities. I have not yet found any conclusive evidence that any member cf the College community has been guilty of wrong-doing in this respec t . �Yet I feel -obliged to make perfectly clear to all members of this community that they-must exercise intelligent restraint in divulging information, except that required by law or by college policy arid practice, to any individuals, public or private, outside the community. Not to heed this injunction is to put in jeopardy one's right to further participation in the community. Where doubt exists about the propriety of con~unicating information (however obtained) about the community to individuals or agencies outside the c0nn-nunity, . the individual should consult in advance with an apprrpriate officer of the College. I may add that I have made vigorous representations to public authorities - federal, state, and local - protesting alleged invasions of the proper autonomies of the College community. Our major rec ours e must be, however, to the self-discipline exercLsed by each of us. I am also designating a committee, made up of faculty, students and members of the administration, to advise me. Included are Mr. Mark Breibart; Mr. Lewis Coole; Mr. Frederick Pryor; Miss Dorothy Robinson; Mr. David Smith; Mr. Jerome Wood. Its major responsibilities will be two -fo ld: to cope with the present situation, alleviating in every T,va y possible harm unjustly done to the reputation of those given notoriety in the documents. Second ly, I hope it will help formulate guidelines that vlill be as explicit as possible about safeguarding of confidential information . I must make two points exp licit. This group wi ll not constitute a court, but rather a committee o r commissio"n - a kind of collective ombudsman for the College c ommunity. Second , I must reserve the responsibility and obligation for action which would be called for, or be implicit in, the r ecommendations of this committee. Robert D.
