Illegal records disclosures investigated by campus law enforcement

Several months ago, I was reading my local newspaper and saw an article that caught my attention. The article (about a half‐page long) reported that the records of two individuals had been illegally disclosed to at least a dozen employees of an institution. The article continued by stating that the disclosures were violations of “federal privacy laws.” The article did not mention the specific laws, but of course, Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and HIPAA came to mind instantly.
