Export Control (EC)
Lamar University believes that teaching, research, and service shall be conducted openly and without prohibitions or restrictions to the publication and dissemination of the results of academic and research activities. However, several federal laws require the University to obtain federal authorization before foreign nationals are allowed to participate in research specific technologies or before the sharing of research information with persons who are not citizens of the United States or permanent resident aliens.
Lamar University is committed to compliance with U.S. export laws and regulations governing transfer and export of controlled hardware, software, and data.
Export regulations are very broad and cover all fields of science, engineering, and technology research activities regardless of the funding source. Export control regulations must be followed.
It is vital for all Lamar University employees to comprehend their responsibilities under these regulations and to work with ORSPA to ensure LU is in compliance.
