Professor Warned After Violating Student's Privacy

A Metropolitan State College political science professor was disciplined after disclosing personal information on a student. The student had charged that they had dropped a class taught by the professor out of fear of making a bad grade because of membership in a campus Republican organization. In response to this charge, the professor reportedly disclosed publicly that the student dropped the class because they were not doing well, which violated the student's privacy.
