To explore various stakeholders’ understanding of student privacy and how protections for it are enacted on their campus, we conducted interviews with 27 faculty, instructional designers, and academic librarians at Very High Research Activity universities across the United States. Although there were no interview questions concerning the pandemic, participants noted an increase in awareness of student privacy issues as a result of moving instruction, instructional design, and library services into a completely online environment. Findings show diverse, complex student privacy landscapes on American campuses. Most participants did not perceive themselves as having agency in student privacy decisions on their campuses suggesting that these faculty, instructional designers, and academic librarians can improve communication among themselves and work together. More broadly, the findings suggest that governance structures could be improved to develop a more inclusive culture of student privacy.

为了探讨各利益相关者对学生隐私的理解以及如何在校园内实施隐私保护，我们对美国研究活跃度极高的大学的 27 名教师、教学设计师和学术图书馆员进行了采访。尽管没有涉及疫情的采访问题，但参与者指出，由于将教学、教学设计和图书馆服务转移到完全在线的环境中，学生隐私问题的意识有所提高。调查结果显示美国校园的学生隐私状况多样化且复杂。大多数参与者并不认为自己在校园内的学生隐私决策中拥有代理权，这表明这些教师、教学设计师和学术图书馆员可以改善彼此之间的沟通并共同努力。更广泛地说，研究结果表明可以改进治理结构，以发展更具包容性的学生隐私文化。
