The Privacy Act & Vindictive Students

I think most of the peers that saw an applicant’s application or records were actually told by the applicants themselves. The applicant “bragged” that he put he was a URM, when he was actually white. I read some of the posts you are talking about, and most of them, I think, the friend bragged about it (or something like that)

As for your question, I didn’t know if you could look through other people’s records. I think if the teacher knows that you are lazy, and put it in the rec it is not violating privacy although you did not reveal that in your application. But when the teacher pries into your life and records, that might be a problem. In that case, SUE THEM. lol.

Interesting thread.
