Economic development finds a founder’s CV hosted on a public university staff page. How should that source be used?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A faculty CV on a university page is a public flyer on the bulletin board—useful, but it might be last year’s flyer. Cite it, then check when it was posted and whether later public records still agree. Sealed transcripts are not OSINT.
Full Explanation
Institutional CV pages on public .edu sites are legitimate people-OSINT sources, including bios, titles, and dated achievements. They have their own vintage: faculty pages lag, and a hosted resume may predate the founder’s current role. Date-check the page and corroborate against other public records before treating facts as current. Sealed student transcripts are non-public and outside PORP collection.
