However, OGCC may share information with other relevant University officials on a need-to-know basis, if required by applicable law, or if necessary for the pursuit and/or appropriate resolution of a duly authorized investigation or other legal matter. If you have any questions or concerns about the confidentiality of a particular conversation with any University official, you should ask the University official to explain the confidentiality parameters before the conversation begins.
