[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it that some major donors (and even certain faculty members) seem to know which families are receiving financial aid? This strikes me as highly inappropriate and potentially a violation of privacy regulations. At the very least, it feels ethically troubling.

It’s disheartening and frankly upsetting. This kind of breach creates a sense of exclusion and judgment that no family should have to endure. While we’re grateful that the school has been a positive environment for our child, this issue casts a long shadow. It raises real questions about whether this is the right community for our family because, frankly, it has become quite painful to stay and be around other families at this point.

I hope school administrators and staff in the private schools read this.[/quote]

This sounds like a 'you' problem and you sound entitled AF. I promise you that most staff and families don't give this any thought. Why would they care? You should feel grateful and chill out. Or leave. I'm sure that many other families will happily receive the aid that you're having such strong ethically troubled feelings about.[/quote]

Well, I think you should read that the school websites always say this is confidential information. Update websites then. Problem solved. You cannot announce it one way and do another.
I think you are entitled AF to think that big donors and faculty are entitled to know such private info.
