The OP might not have as much privacy as he/she assumed if they sent the emails from school using school computers and servers.

<p>Nope, this particular email that I sent to Kevin was sent from my home computer using my own wi-fi.</p>

There is the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) but the Patriot Act allowed more leeway so it may have been legal for school authorities to access the email.

<p>The Fourth Amendment might disagree with you. Furthermore, I don’t believe I have engaged in possible illicit activities that might make the Patriot Act apply to me.</p>

How do you know that several colleges called the school to verify his leadership positions? It is doubtful that the teachers or administrators would have told other students about such a call…

<p>Oh!.. but they did.</p>
