exempt review

Explanation:

"Exempt" in a research study means that the study is not subjected to comply with the federal regulations. However, the research should still be reviewed and passed by the Institutional Review Board in order to ensure proper ethical standards and other institutional policies for the human subject research is being followed.

In the context, a student who is conducting a research study makes use of a survey. But the student did not wish to collect the identifiable information but he intends to asks about the subjects education background, political affiliations and their views on the social issues. Such a study falls under the exempt review.
