Virginia Tech Massacre Has Altered Campus Mental Health Systems

1. Faculties are speaking up about the student that worry them. Making changes to privacy policies and they are focusing more on campus health. 
2. I think that the changes that are mentioned are good. If more faculty members speak up about kids that are giving them signals to mental problems more incidents might be able to be prevented. I also think that privacy policy changes are good because parents should be able to know what is going on with there child and can help out if the situation gets out of hand.
3. Many faculty hadn't realized that the law applies only to educational records, not observations of classroom behavior, or that it contains numerous exceptions.

I am surprised that so many of you think that parents should be in the loop. Do you feel that 18 is the age to have your privacy? Good answer on question 3.

I think that 18 is the age to have privacy. But not of it because some people are still dependent on their parents while their still at college.

I agree that parents should be aware of their child's issues and should get them involved.
