I have no need to know whether DeMarcus got a C or a B in his most recent Chemistry course, nor do I have any right even to know if this is on his course load. Knowing that he is enrolled in a course of study and is academically eligible is all the public should be entitled to.
Not only that, but it would be against FERPA for the Universities to release that info.
Every time I log into our system at UMSL, I have to click yes on an agreement that I won't share any student info with anybody.
