Survey Analysis

We surveyed a small sample of the student body to consider their expectations and perceptions of student privacy rights on the Stanford network.  We found that while most surveyed students knew little about their privacy protection rights and the degree to which these rights can be compromised, they believe that privacy protection is important.  Based on these findings, we suggest that the University place greater emphasis on increasing awareness of student privacy issues through literature distribution and educational programs. 

The Appendix includes the survey as well as the survey results.  We hope to expand this section in two ways:  (1) survey a larger, more representative sample of the student body and (2) provide a more thorough analysis of the survey results, which we did not have the expertise to accomplish.
