 Compliance Units in the Office of the General Counsel
Athletic Compliance Office
The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant implications in the world of intercollegiate athletics. Beginning with the NCAA’s announcement in March that the remainder of the winter and
spring NCAA championship seasons would be cancelled, the Athletic Compliance Office has worked closely with the Athletics Department as it adapts to all of the changes brought about
by COVID-19. The issues include student-athlete academic and athletic eligibility, benefits, and rescheduled seasons of competition.
Clery Compliance Office
The Clery Compliance Office has system-wide responsibility
to gather and publish statistics on crimes reported on or near University campuses, as required by the federal Clery Act. The office identifies and trains campus security authorities. Those individuals play a crucial role in ensuring the University complies with the federal law and also function as reporting resources on the University’s five campuses. The Clery Compliance Office also publishes an Annual Security and Fire Safety Report.
Data Access and Privacy Office
This year saw significant changes to the University’s efforts to enhance its compliance with the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act. Established in 1996, the Records and Information Management Office was recently renamed the Data Access and Privacy Office (DAP) to better reflect the broad scope of the office to respond to data requests, improve data practices compliance, as well as promote improved records management throughout the University system. DAP also
saw the addition of Laurie Beyer-Kropuenske as the University’s Chief Data Practices Compliance Officer. Laurie brings over 25 years of state legal and data practices experience to this newly created role. These changes were guided by the recommendations from the comprehensive review conducted last year at the direction of University President Joan Gabel.
