STUDENT RECORDS The University should have a I carefully consilered policy as to f the information which should be t part of a student's permanent ed- il ucational record and as to the con ditions of its disclosure. To mini- n mizi the risk of improper dis- i. closure, academic and disciplinary s records should be separate, and the conditions of access to each f should be set forth in an explicit; policy statement. Final tran- s scripts of academic records should t contain only information about academic status. Information from disciplinary files should not be available to unauthorized persons on campus, or to any person off campus without the express con-: sent of the student involved ex-: cept under legal compulsion or for security clearance. No permanent records should be kept which reflect the political a activities or beliefs of students.'q Administrative staff and faculty, members should respect as confi-;, dential such information which they acquire in the course of their t work. Counseling files should not be available to any person with- s out the consent of the student, ex-, cept under legal compulsion. Authorized counselors should not,. without the consent of the stu dent, disclose any information ob tained while counseling any stu- f (lent unless failure to disclose the information may result in physi cal or emotional harm to the slu (ent or others.
