Privacy Issues in a Virtual Learning Environment.
Ferencz, Susan K.; Goldsmith, C. W.
CAUSE/EFFECT, v21 n1 p5-11 1998
Given the changes in higher education since 1974, especially those introduced by infusion of technology into admissions, registrar, bursar, financial aid, and advising functions, it is suggested that the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 may be inadequate to address current college-student privacy issues. Additionally, colleges must take responsibility for training staff in appropriate data handling. (MSE)
