Personality Testing By The Schools: A Possible Invasion Of Privacy, Angelika Hoyman

IUSTITIA

Contemporary critics, concerned with the maintenance of personal privacy, have termed the use of personality tests a "white glove rack and screw" . Monroe H. Freedman, Dean of Hofstra University School of Law, while testifying before a congressional subcommittee, compared the use of psychological tests to the administration of truth serums and found both to be an affront to personal dignity.

Nevertheless, the 1960's witnessed a three-fold increase in the number of school counselors employed in most schools and a nation-wide survey of these counselors indicated that at least one-third of their time was spent in dealing with the personal …

Constitutional Law--Action Under Color of State Law--Legislative Authorization of Private Action Resembling Public Function Constitutes Action Under Color of State Law

The instant case creates a two to two split in the circuits on the question whether the seizure of a tenant's possessions under a land-lord lien statute is action under color of state law. The decisions in Davis and Anastasia provide the potential for abuse that Fuentes was designed to prevent-the indiscriminate entry into the debtor's home and seizure of his belongings without prior notice and hearing.Hall and the instant opinion, however, provide a more equitable result.

Nlrb Investigatory Records: Disclosure Under The Freedom Of Information Act, Louis A. Fuselier, Armin J. Moeller Jr.

University of Richmond Law Review

A fundamental maxim of American political philosophy is the right of each citizen to know what his government is doing. Political leaders have repeatedly assured the American people that government activities are consistent with the ideals of a free and open society. Whatever confidence the American people may have bestowed upon their government as a result of such pronouncements, it was shattered by the revelations of Watergate, and other allegations of illegal activities attributed to several government agencies. Concurrent with these debilitating developments was the less visible bureaucratic obstruction of the Freedom of Information Act of 1966 (FOIA).

Hands Off!! The Validity Of Local Massage Parlor Laws

University of Richmond Law Review

Massage parlors are not a recent American phenomenon. They were a pervasive and, to many, a troublesome phenomenon during the "winning of the West."' In 1897, the Supreme Court determined that one advertisement by women inviting men to their "Baths" and "Massage" rooms was too obscene to be printed.

This note examines the most prevalent legal problems generated by the regulation of massage parlors: the relationship between the police power and massage parlor establishments, the constitutional concerns of equal protection and substantive due …

The Family Educational Rights And Privacy Act Two Years Later, Katherine Cudlipp

University of Richmond Law Review

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, the so called Buckley Amendment, grants parents the right to inspect all records that schools maintain on their children and to challenge any contents they believe are inaccurate or misleading. The Act also requires that parents consent before information from school records is released to those outside specified educational categories. Once a student reaches eighteen years of age or enters a postsecondary educational institution, he assumes these rights in his parents' stead. The penalty for failure of an educational system or institution to comply with the law is loss of all …
