“All educational institutions receiving Federal financial assistance must designate at least one employee to coordinate their efforts to comply with and carry out their responsibilities under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits sex discrimination in education programs and activities. Responsible University Official (Child Protection Policy)įederally Mandated Compliance Roles Title IX Coordinator - Federal Law.New York Compliance Roles (from New York State law and SUNY Policy) Campus Security Authority for purposes of the Clery Actįederal Compliance Roles for HIPAA Covered Entities.As an example, higher education institutions are not required by federal law to have a 'Clery Act' coordinator, but many campuses have formally designated a person on their campus as the 'Clery Coordinator' to ensure clarity over who is responsible for overseeing compliance with the Clery Act at their campus. This is a best practice for compliance because it clearly designates who has responsibility over a specific compliance function or task.

Note that campuses can also elect to make certain compliance roles a formal designation at their institution, even if they are not required to do so by law or policy.

The Higher Education Compliance Alliance maintains a comprehensive Federal Compliance Matrix of the federal laws and regulations governing colleges and universities. You can learn more about many of these other compliance subject areas in the Compliance Topics section of this site. The compliance mandates and responsibilities that SUNY is subject to as a result of federal and state law, SUNY Policy, and other sources is much more extensive than the list of roles outlined on this page. Note that there are still many other compliance roles and responsibilities that exist throughout our campuses that are not included in the list below of those roles that must be formally designated. Instead, this list is ONLY comprised of the compliance roles that require a formal designation per a law or policy that states a designation must be formally given. It is important to note that this list is not representative of all the compliance roles and responsibilities that must occur throughout a campus. The following is a list of roles that SUNY campuses are required to have officially designated, as well as details of the role, responsibilities, and scope for the employee designated to fill the role. Various State and Federal laws, as well as SUNY Policies, require that SUNY campuses officially designate an employee (whether by name or title) to fill a particular compliance function or responsibility.
