As discussed recently in some of my favorite blogs, Research Institutions need export compliance too!
Although most don't realize it, universities and other institutes export things every day - and frequently these can be high-tech items containing sensitive, private data. Just like everyone else, Universities must obtain licenses and comply with trade laws.
Additionally, when hiring employees or permitting visitors, these organizations need to be sure they truly know who they are dealing with - making denied party screening another important requirement for the education and research communities.
