It is a violation of federal law to divulge anything about a student's
performance to another person without explicit authorization, unless that
information is required as part of official duties (for example, the student's
advisor or an official departmental review committee) or for legitimate 
educational purposes (someone studying the relation between grades in course
A and course B).  In the latter case, the person getting that information
must put his/her name in the folder indicating this.
