Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

The Office of the Secretary of Defense proposes to alter a system of records, DFMP 09, entitled ``Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute Student File.'' The system is used to manage administrative and academic functions related to student registration and courses attempted and completed. Records are used to ensure class diversity; input grades; track student progress; advise/counsel as needed; verify attendance; and are used by the academic review board and the Commandant to make decisions regarding the release of students from the program. Records are also used as a management tool for statistical analysis, tracking, and reporting.
