PRIVACY RESTRICTIONS
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) went into effect on April 14, 2003. Although the law was not initially intended for intercollegiate athletics, the law holds the university liable for its intent. Thus, East Stroudsburg University will not be allowed to comment on any health-related questions concerning our student-athletes. This pertains to coaches, student-athletes, the athletic training staff or anyone associated with East Stroudsburg University. We ask that you please refrain from asking questions concerning any injuries or health-related issues. All ESU personnel have been instructed to answer those types of questions with the following response. "Considering the HIPAA law, University policy does not allow me to discuss that." If you have any questions regarding the HIPAA law and ESU's policy, please contact the athletic communications office.
