The PII Problem: Privacy and a New Concept of Personally Identifiable Information Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is one of the most central concepts in information privacy regulation, but there is no uniform definition of it. Moreover, the US and European Union approach this topic in different ways. Computer science has shown that PII and non-PII are not immutable categories. Hear Professors Paul Schwartz (Berkeley Center for Law & Technology) and Daniel Solove (GW Law) present their new paper “The PII Problem,” which discusses personally identifiable information and proposes a concept entitled "PII 2.0." A panel discussion moderated by Jules Cohen with Chris Calabrese, D. Reed Freeman, Jr and Maneesha Mithal follows. Bridging the Achievement Gap: Panel Discussion The term “achievement gap” refers to the disparities in academic achievement between different groups of students. Across the United States, gaps in academic achievement persist between ethnic groups, socioeconomic classes, and genders. These achievement gaps are one of the most pressing education-policy challenges that schools currently face, and directly affect the future of our nation.

How did these gaps originate, and how can we bridge them? Our four panelists discussed the history, causes, and possible solutions for the racial achievement gap in California K-12 schools, with an emphasis on literacy and the language arts.

Featured panelists:

* Carrie Donovan – Director of BUILD (Berkeley United in Literacy Development), UC Berkeley * Andrew Dubin – Professor, Graduate College of Education, San Francisco State University * Emma Fuentes – Professor, School of Education, University of San Francisco * Stephanie Sisk-Hilton – Professor, Graduate College of Education, San Francisco State University
