[ATTW-L] Permission for Secondary Use of Student papers

[Cheryl Geisler]

Dear ATTW Researchers,

I am trying to use deidentified student drafts from a course I taught a few years ago for secondary research purpose (to analyze using text analytic software), and I am having trouble getting the go ahead from my former institution.

They have indicated that my project is OK from the perspective of IRB review, but are trying to determine whether I have the “right" to do this analysis as established by something like a faculty handbook.

Does anyone have any experience with getting additional permission to analyze student drafts in addition to IRB review?  Or can anyone explain what might be going on here?

Thanks for any insight.

— Cheryl
