Exceptions and Exemptions
The regulations administered and enforced by the EAR, ITAR, and OFAC are not intended to obstruct university research or teachings. For this reason, there are exceptions and exemptions that allow for the dissemination of information not thought to pose a risk to national security or foreign policy.
These exceptions, in general, allow for information that is openly accessible in the public domain to be distributed through teaching, research, and communication. Also, all exemptions require that information and research findings be published openly without restrictions. Any restrictions to access, participation, or dissemination by third parties will negate any exceptions or exemptions.
