I think reasonable people can disagree. My major issue is with the laws that prohibit disclosure. I would repeal these laws and let colleges choose their own policies. College A might say that they disclose everything. College B might keep everything confidential. College C might disclose some information. Etc. Applicicants would choose to apply or not based on a school’s policy.
Of course, this will never happen. Laws seldom are repealed in this country, and we certainly are reluctant to let individuals make their own choices.
