Ah. I see. 

We have such a small community (about 1000) that matching
records to the right person via a DOB is not something we
would think of straight off.

Since we do not collect DOB and have no reason to collect DOB
recording it at the time of identity proofing does not make
sense for us.

Thanks for sharing! Since I do not have a background in campus
IT sharing these types of insights are most helpful.

Cheers,

Scott
