On December 23, 2024, the Stop Campus Hazing Act was signed into law, amending the Clery Act and requiring institutions that receive to:

• Include Hazing as a Clery crime
• Develop institutional hazing policies/procedures and prevention programs
• Publish twice a year a Campus Hazing Transparency Report (CHTR), starting December 2025, that includes information on hazing incidents reports to the institution involving a student organization for which a finding of responsibility is issued

The amendment has also renamed the law to the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act

On Tuesday, March 25, from 12 to 1 pm, Marsha Daerda, UF RISC Associate Director and Export Control Officer, and Stacy Beck, Compliance Analyst, join the UF Learn over Lunch bunch to explain some of the ins and outs of export control laws and regulations (and how UF manages them).  The presentation will primarily focus on truths and myths regarding the application of export controls and UF Policy to UF Business.

We really want to know what truths and myths you would like to explore! Thus, in preparation for the session, please send loren.israel@ufl.edu questions or case hypothetical situations on which you would like to solicit advice. As always, there will be a Q&A at the end of the session. Though not required, attendees are encouraged to take the online training “Export Controls: The Basics” (UF_RSH613_OLT) through myTraining prior to the webinar.  

UFCE just posted a new webpage on Foreign Influence Laws! 

The University of Florida’s involvement with foreign entities, including foreign governments, foreign companies, citizens of foreign countries, and agents acting on behalf of any of these entities, is regulated by federal and state laws, regulations, and UF policies. Such oversight is designed to reduce foreign influence on academic freedom and protect national security.  

At the state level, much of UF’s engagement with foreign entities is controlled by Florida Board of Governors Regulation 9.012 as well as the Florida Board of Governors Activity with Foreign Countries of Concern Guidance Document for State University System Institutions.

A summary of these laws and regulations is provided on this webpage along with some key resources.
