House passes legislation to protect
privacy of college students
On June 3, the Oregon House of
Representatives passed legislation to
protect the privacy rights of college
students. Senate Bill 344A would
prevent colleges and universities from
demanding access to the private social
media pages maintained by current
students or applicants.
“As social networking sites grow
in popularity, we need to make sure
that students are confident that their
personal pages are protected,” said

Rep. Margaret Doherty (Democrat,
Tigard), who championed the bill
along with Senators Ginny Burdick
(Democrat, Portland) and Bruce Starr
(Republican, Hillsboro).
“It’s unacceptable for colleges to ac-
cess a student’s private information,
just as it would be inappropriate for
them to demand access to a diary or
other personal notes.”
Doherty also worked to expand
social media privacy for Oregon’s
workers this session. House Bill
2654B, which prevents employers
from requiring employees or appli-
cants to provide access to their social
media accounts, was recently signed
by Governor Kitzhaber.
Under SB 344A, colleges and uni-
versities are still able to investigate
reports of illegal activity by compel-
ling a student to share specific infor-
mation. The legislation won support
from a broad coalition including
higher education institutions, pri-
vacy advocates, and students’ rights
groups.
“Many students are choosing to
share more of their personal infor-
mation online, but they still have the
right to privacy,” House Majority
Leader Val Hoyle (Democrat, Eugene)
said. “We need to make sure that stu-
dents don’t lose their rights simply
because they are growing up with
the changing realities of new media.”
SB 344A passed the House and
Senate with bipartisan support and
now heads to the Governor for his
signature.
