Richard Innes: Schools, Data-Mining, and Invasions of Privacy

BIPPS' Richard Innes talks to Joy Pullmann about growing privacy threats from ever-expanding student databases in this Heartland Institute Podcast released on May 21, 2012.

The recording includes a real world example of how supposedly sanitizing student data does not provide adequate security. Innes points to an example where database matching allowed sensitive student data, including personal identification, to be “reattached” to supposedly sanitized data collected by the National Assessment of Educational Progress.
