Tri-C Faculty and Community Members Unmask
Privacy Issues at 21st Annual Faculty Symposium
CLEVELAND, Jan. 26 -- From new car systems like
On-Star to
airline profiling, the American public is blindly losing its
privacy.
Technology developments are making it very simple for individuals to
be
tracked and watched without their consent.
The 21st Cuyahoga Community College Faculty Symposium, Perspectives
on
Privacy: Who's Watching Whom?, will focus on these modern day
privacy issues.
Open to the public, the symposium will be held on Saturday, March
20. The
event will take place at Tri-C's Metropolitan Campus Auditorium,
2900
Community College Avenue in Cleveland, from 8:45 a.m. until 2 p.m.
Some of the day's seminar topics will include workplace
surveillance, the
U.S. Patriot Act, Spyware and pop-ups, and reality television. There
will
also be half-day workshops devoted to examining privacy-related
issues.
Featured speakers will be Gerald Mack, special agent in charge
Cleveland
FBI office, who will present "The Patriot Act: Focus on Terrorism,"
and John
E. Steiner, Jr. Esq., chief compliance officer for Cleveland Clinic
Health
Systems who will present "Privacy Rule: Myths and Realities." Sam
Fulwood III, Plain Dealer columnist, will act as moderator.
According to Tri-C Faculty Development Director Lindsay English, the
Symposium gives faculty members a chance to present and discuss
relevant
topics with the general public. "The discussions are very insightful
because
of the combined research and expertise of our faculty and the
perspectives of
community members," she said. "Privacy issues are very timely, given
what is
going on in the world today, and are subjects that the general
public needs
more information on."
While attending the symposium is free, reservations are required for
the
lunch buffet to be served that day at 1 p.m. Cost for the lunch
buffet is $15.
