Export Controls
Our faculty and staff conduct substantive and important research that contributes regionally, nationally, and internationally. However, such research must be carried out in a careful fashion because, at times, even if unintended, some research may include significant safety risks to the public or have potential applications in military, space, or intelligence fields. When addressing export control, exporting does not simply mean taking research information or equipment out of the country; it also means sharing it with certain individuals here in the U.S., or even on campus, who could then be deemed to have taken that product or information abroad.
