Private Records
Records kept by faculty or staff members regarding students, such notes taken at meetings and during conversation with students, are not official records. They are regarded as extensions of the memory of the individual who keeps them, and as such, private records. Each individual is held accountable for the consequence of keeping such private records and is responsible for preventing disclosure.
Notwithstanding all of the above, all records of the College are subject to disclosure in compliance with a subpoena issued in accordance with the appropriate law.
A student has the right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education. Any member of the College who willingly and knowingly falsifies or misrepresents information pertaining to student records or wrongfully discloses such records is guilty of grave misconduct and will be subject to appropriate discipline.
