Mount Ida students’ records shared without their permission

Posted on April 15, 2018 by Dissent

This may be more a matter for PogoWasRight.org than this site, so I’ll cross-post it over there. Laura Krantz reports:

Students and parents at Mount Ida College say they are furious because the college shared their private records with UMass Dartmouth without their permission, amid a controversial plan to shut down the college and offer students a chance to attend the state school next fall.

Mount Ida families said they learned the students’ information was shared after they received individualized packets of information from UMass Dartmouth this week that contained their academic transcripts. Some students said they do not plan to transfer to Dartmouth and did not want their records shared.
