Abstract:

Occasionally, third parties contact local educational agencies (LEAs) requesting permission to conduct research using the students or their educational records. LEAs also may use third parties to conduct research on their students. In these situations protection of the privacy rights of students and students' families comes under federal law--the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA). Rone discusses constitutional issues that may arise when this type of research is conducted and privacy protection policies an LEA may want to enact.

Abstract:

The state of North Carolina is considering a change in its AIDS policy. A coalition led by Lt. Gov. Jim Gardner is intent on banning anonymous AIDS testing. The group wants to create a master list of individuals with the HIV virus to be shared among health care professionals. Opponents of the measure say that it would discourage individuals from seeking treatment and violate their right to privacy. Experts say anonymous testing is likely to end unless the community convinces legislators otherwise at the public hearings.
