This article states "As long as a company conducts business in New York

I am interpreting this to NOT mean an institution outside of New York that
has students that have retained their New York residency.

Any legal minds wish to comment ?



This article seems to be fairly complete and yet not overly long.

According to an Infoworld story datelined last Friday* there is a New York data breach notification statute 
scheduled to go into effect next month that appears to be fairly stringent.

Could someone who is familiar with the statute inform the list about its provisions, particularly as they might 
pertain to students who attend universities in other states but who maintain their NY residency?
