[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s something very wrong here...
OP is right to question this.[/quote]

Not really. OP's premise is so off.

First off, not all parents pay for their children's education; DUH.

Secondly, even when they do, who says it's 100%?

Of those who do pay some portion, who is to say that it's not truly a gift? And of course, in some cases, there are strings--but what administrator or campus cop is going to be in a position to knokw the difference?

Plus, even if a parent WANTS to know everything, they don't have the RIGHT to know everything. The law is the law: medical personnel MAY NOT report medical information without an *adult patient's* consent. A parent may WANT to know if their child went to the health center seeking birth control options, or God forbid a rape kit, but they don't have the RIGHT to know that about an adult patient. Like, literally; they do not have the legal right.

College-age students are adults and ADULTS have rights to privacy; no matter who is paying for what.

Don't like it? Don't pay for your kid's college. Pretty damn simple. [/quote]
