The Policy of UNC Greensboro is to conduct the public business in a transparent manner that is consistent with federal and state laws and regulations and effectively applies any relevant qualifying statutes or laws related to confidentiality, professional privilege, and personal use to all records generated in the course of University business. In accordance with N.C. Gen.

With respect to confidentiality, it is the policy of UNC Greensboro to comply with various state and federal laws and to provide for the confidentiality of certain records protected by law, including,  but not limited to, FERPA, HIPAA, the State Personnel Act, and the Public Records Act itself.
