Re: FERPA, eMail Addresses & Harvesting

[Diana Orrick <orrick () ACNS FSU EDU>]

Hello,

Attached a research paper presented in 2003 regarding

institutions are not identified, thought you might be
interested in the results of the survey of 'directory information'
on 60 US universities from 50 states and DC.

regards,
-DM Orrick
