Education Department Effort to Prevent Colleges from Releasing Crime Records Suffers Setback.

Jaschik, Scott

Chronicle of Higher Education, v37 n33 pA17,19 May 1 1991

Controversy involves interpretation of a 1974 privacy-protection law, the Buckley Amendment. College officials are unsure about how to deal with the issue. (MSE)
