Why do Export Control Laws matter at West Virginia University?
ECLs can have a significant impact on university research involving regulated items. As defined, the term “export” includes not only the transfer of a controlled item or information outside of the U.S., but also the transfer of an item or information to a foreign national inside the U.S (called the “deemed export” rule). This may include WVU’s foreign students who are exposed to covered technologies or information. Transfers include electronic and digital transfer.
