List the three changes mentioned in the article.
1A. Faculty are speaking up more about students who worry them. That’s accelerating a trend of more demand for mental health services that was already under way before the Virginia Tech shootings.
1B. Changes are being made to privacy policies. In Virginia, a measure signed into law Wednesday by Gov. tim Kaine requires colleges to bring parents into the loop when dependent students may be a danger to themselves or others.
1C. The big change since the Virginia Tech shootings, legal experts say, is colleges have shed some of their fear of violating the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
2. Do you agree or disagree with the changes that are mentioned?
I agree with the changed being mentioned, I feel faculty needs to speak up about students, because I feel most of the issues these young adults face is school related. I also strongly agree bout privacy policies parents should always be in the loop when it comes to there children, they know them the most and they can help control the outcome.
31. What is the problem that many faculty members realized?
Faculty members realized, that the law applies only to educational records, not observations of classroom behavior, or that it contains numerous exceptions.

I agree, no one knows better about a students behavioral issues, how much of a threat they are, etc. than their parents.
I am not so sure about the parents always being in the loop. Look at Columbine, those parents were shocked. At 18 years old, you are entitled to your privacy by law, unless you give permission to them to include your parents. Good answer on question 3. Rethink the third change though.
Parents do know the children best.
