Publicizing scholarship lists in many universities exposes students' privacy.
It is understood that in recent years, Hohai University, Guangxi University for Nationalities, xi 'an Conservatory of Music and other colleges and universities have disclosed students' complete citizen ID numbers when publicizing the list of national scholarship candidates or winners.

Among them, Hohai University announced the preliminary list of winners of national scholarships in 20 13 and the list of candidates of national scholarships for undergraduates in 20 14 and 20 15. In addition to the student's name, department, major, student number, gender, nationality and school year, the student's complete ID number was also published.
In response, a responsible teacher of the teaching department of Xi 'an Conservatory of Music responded that "to give each award-winning student a bonus, it is necessary to publicize the ID number for list verification."
A teacher in charge of the student affairs office of Hohai University said, "It is necessary to publicize and let students check their personal information clearly. I didn't think of a better way to protect students' privacy to the greatest extent. "
Some government websites leak personal information.
In addition, in recent days, many local governments frequently exposed personal information and other privacy leaks in official website, which aroused public concern. Personal phone number, address, ID number and other information appear on the official website of government departments in the form of "publicity", which can be downloaded and obtained at will.
The reporter found out that the official websites of grassroots governments in Hefei, Tongling, Jiangxi, Jingdezhen, Yichun and other places, as well as some documents and materials voluntarily disclosed by the government, all leaked personal privacy information. After the incident was disclosed by the media, the above-mentioned official website successively deleted or hidden the documents involved, but there were still "fish that escaped from the net".

The publicity of the second batch of college students' one-time start-up subsidies was released by Jingdezhen municipal government information disclosure network on1October 3 1 Sunday 20 17. The propaganda unit is Jingdezhen Labor and Employment Service Administration, and the responsible department is Jingdezhen Human Resources and Social Security Bureau. Among them, the file available for public download published the students' names, complete ID numbers and contact numbers.
When personal information is more and more likely to become the information of telecom fraud, some university and department heads said that there is no better way to disclose personal information. Is that really the case? How can we effectively protect the security of personal information?
In the information age, personal information such as personal name, ID number and home address are valuable resources. Protecting these core information is a necessary means to protect people's rights and interests from infringement. In recent years, China's legislature and relevant departments have also stepped up efforts to cut off the black hand that steals people's personal information through various means. However, it is really hard to understand that some colleges and universities allow students' personal information to run naked when the national consciousness has been formed and the protection is getting stronger and stronger. More importantly, similar situations frequently occur in some local institutions and government departments, which is worrying.
Conventional operations are out of date and should be changed as soon as possible.
To tell the truth, there is a reason why colleges and universities publicly release student information when they publicize the list of candidates or winners of national scholarships. On the one hand, national scholarships are allocated by the central government to reward outstanding full-time college students. The "Measures for the Evaluation of National Scholarships" clearly stipulates that the evaluation work should be "open, fair and just" and there should be a "publicity period of not less than five days". The reason for making such specific provisions is that the amount of national scholarships is relatively high, and it is helpful to put an end to the black-box operation and let scholarships really play their due role. On the other hand, in recent years, many colleges and universities have released students' personal information at the same time, without any objection. It can be said that it has always been like this, with inertia.
However, what exists may not be reasonable. In the case that the frequent disclosure of personal information brings serious consequences or even tragedies, colleges and universities should straighten out the publicity process in time and take into account the needs of students to protect personal information in an open and transparent way. Inertial thinking often tells us that what has been done is the most reasonable, which is actually lazy thinking. In fact, many past practices are inherently flawed. At present, the state pays more and more attention to the protection of people's personal information, and a series of laws and regulations such as the Ninth Amendment to the Criminal Law have also made clear provisions. This routine operation is obviously out of date and should be changed as soon as possible.
Open and transparent ≠ information streaking
What is even more incomprehensible is that the management departments of some colleges and universities even told reporters, "How can we ensure openness and transparency without publishing identity information?" Such suspicion is naive. There is a classic error dichotomy in logic. People who hold this paradox often only see two choices: black or white, right or wrong. "If you don't support me, you are against me" is a classic case of this paradox, completely ignoring the possibility that most people "partially agree with their own views". Can "not publishing identity information" only be equated with "black-box operation" or even "violation"? By covering the core information such as the ID number or the middle part of the ID number, only the department, major and name are announced. Can't students know that some students have won scholarships? Between "openness and transparency" and "information streaking", it is not that you can't have your cake and eat it, and you can take care of it.
Raise the awareness and action of protecting citizens' information to a higher level.
At present, there are too many aspects that need to be worked hard to protect people's personal information between the public's needs and reality. Breaking the routine and effectively protecting people's information are the obligations of relevant departments and cannot be shirked. Since train tickets can handle identity information, and express orders have to be changed into private orders, can't our relevant departments and higher education institutions take the lead in setting an example and administering according to law?
Protecting people's personal information is related to everyone's vital interests. One is to act in strict accordance with laws and regulations, and the other is to "do to others what you don't want others to do to you." If you don't want to disclose information, don't publish other people's information at will. I hope that the relevant departments can really take this as a warning, carefully examine the work flow and law-abiding awareness, truly set an example and set an example for the protection of people's personal information, and push the awareness and action of the whole society to a higher level.
