| FACULTY
& STAFF - HR Policy #201 - Confidentiality of Records
|
|
Penn’s
Human Resources Policy 201 is directed at protecting the confidentiality
of staff and faculty human resources records. |
|
Under
this policy, human resources records generally must be kept confidential,
although there are certain specific situations in which they may
be disclosed such as: with the written consent of the subject of
the record, to authorized University officials to perform their
duties, when required by law, in certain emergency situations, when
the Provost (in the case of faculty records) or the Vice President
for Human Resources (in the case of staff records) determines that
constructive purpose would be served, and in other situations specifically
listed in the policy. |
|
HR Policy
#201 also describes the system for handling “directory information”
which largely consists of personal contact information such as address,
phone, e-mail. It allows faculty (and staff) to opt-out of sharing
directory information in two ways - with
the Penn community and with the general public. |
|
Finally,
the policy generally affords faculty and staff the opportunity right
to access, review, and request corrections to their records. |
