Privacy And Legal Protection Of College Students

In recent years, the pursuit of civil rights is increasingly strong. Under such environment, college students also bravely claim their rights from the authority through various methods. Privacy is one of these rights. Privacy of college students has distinct characteristics because of the dual nature of their identity. It is fragile and relatively narrow. It is also restricted by the school management. Since October 1999, the first students' privacy lawsuit in China (six college students in Hunan Province sued their school for violating their privacy and reputation), the relevant court cases continue to emerge. It not only reflects that the school's public power is expanding, violating the legitimate rights and interests of students without realizing it, but also embodies that students pursue their own rights strongly while there are still many obstacles. The school management and the right to know frequently collide with the privacy of college students. What is privacy of college students'? What is university management and privacy?

How to set up laws and regulation to protect privacy of college students has been a practical issue which needs further study.This article was divided into four chapters, trying to shape the overall outline of the privacy of college students, and through the analysis of reality, establishing reasonable privacy protection of college students to meet the spirit of law and needs of the time respectively as follows:First, privacy of university students.
