  Office of the General Counsel
Your communications with General Counsel or outside counsel representing FGCU should never be discussed with anyone outside FGCU, including family members or friends; within the University such communications should be discussed only with persons who have responsibility for the particular matter.
Generally, conveying legal advice to persons who are directly involved with a decision on behalf of the University will not void the privilege.
Since the General Counsel's Office is dedicated to the University as a whole, communications by individual employees to the General Counsel may be disclosed to other administrators or to outside counsel retained to represent or advise the University on a "need to know" basis.
