ONEONTA ID NUMBER POLICY
In response to a New York State law enacted in 2000, all students are
assigned an Oneonta ID number or A00 number. These numbers are used as a
unique student identifier. They are printed on class rosters and are
used by students when asking for services at the College. According to
FERPA and campus policy, these numbers are to be treated in the same
manner as the social security number. Please take care to provide the
maximum security for all student record information. It is incumbent on
all of us to protect our students’ privacy. If you would like a
refresher on FERPA or if you have any questions regarding privacy of
student records, please contact Bill Grau, College Registrar at ext.
3216 or graufw@oneonta.edu.
ONEONTA TIGERS BASEBALL TICKETS AVAILABLE
Four Oneonta Tigers baseball season passes, courtesy of the College
Foundation, will once again be available through the President’s Office.
Interested employees are requested to phone the President’s Office at
x2500 to reserve tickets. Tickets may only be reserved during the week
of each game(s) on a first-come, first-served basis. For the sake of
others, passes must be returned the morning after each game.
REMINDER ON POSTING GRADES
Federal law (FERPA) prohibits posting grades using student names and/or
identification numbers. However, it is permissible to post by code name
or number (not the Oneonta I.D. number, social security number, or any
part thereof) agreed to by the student and the faculty member. Wherever
you post grades, please scramble the names on the roster before
assigning codes so that the list does not reflect an alphabetical
listing of your roster. It is also against FERPA regulations to leave
students’ graded work in a general pick up area. Graded course work must
be returned individually to students. Please be aware that under no
circumstances may a listing of student names and ID numbers, or any part
thereof, be posted for any reason. Violations of this law can result in
termination of Federal funding to the college. Questions regarding the
privacy of student records should be directed to Bill Grau, College
Registrar at x3216 or via e-mail at graufw@oneonta.edu.

Patricia Fox, Counseling Center, recently presented at the 2006 American Psychological Association Annual Convention in New Orleans, Louisiana. The title of her presentation is From Listener to Lecturer: Tips for Novice Graduate Student Instructors. She was one of three graduate student presenters from Marywood University, Scranton, PA. Patricia provided tips for constructing a syllabus and for establishing and maintaining positive relationships with students. She has taught undergraduate psychology courses at Keystone College, La Plume, PA.
Rebecca Harrington, Health Educator, presented at the 2006 American College Health Association’s Annual Meeting in New York City. The presentation, entitled “How the Music Industry is Selling Gender Rolls,” examined the artwork used on CD album covers on the Billboard Hot 100 list and the design strategies used to reinforce gender stereotypes.
Gina Keel, Political Science, presented a paper entitled “Paying for World War I: Executive Leadership, Congressional Negotiations, and Issue Network Influence” at the 2006 Policy History Conference in Charlottesville, Virginia, on June 2nd. The biennial conference provides an interdisciplinary forum for scholars of policy history and American political development. Her paper, rooted in archival research, asserts that war finance policy was dynamic and contingent rather than part of an effort to build and finance a democratic state in the American Progressive Era. This is part of a larger project on the development of public finance policy and embrace of progressive income taxation in the United States.
William Simons, History, read the part of "Mr. Van Daan" in the historical drama The Diary of Anne Frank on June 4, 2006, in Oneonta. The Little Victory Players produced the play reading under the direction of Ernest Schenk.
