A new overview of CALEA in higher education that concludes that the great majority of our institutions of higher education are exempt from CALEA requirements and therefore need not take additional steps required by CALEA at this time. Of course, higher education remains fully committed to assisting law enforcement with lawful intercepts under other existing legislation. Prepared by the EDUCAUSE Network Policy Council, the new letter may be found at http://www.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/EPO0656.pdf.
Another document, prepared by the Chair of the EDUCAUSE CALEA Technical Committee, explains some of the technical considerations that go into this judgment, and may be found at http://www.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/CSD4607.pdf. Together, they provide a framework as well as additional detail for discussions of this important topic.
