HIGHER EDUCATION REMINDER:
A quick reminder to higher education and financial institutions subject to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA): the deadline to comply with the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) revised Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information—commonly known as the Safeguards Rule—arrived on June 9, 2023. Covered institutions must meet the requirements of the Safeguards Rule by that date if they handle customer financial information. This can impact the ability to offer financial aid.
