The Wisconsin College Republicans filed a formal complaint against the UW-Madison Monday, claiming the university violated student privacy rights with an e-mail about a Gov. Jim Doyle press event.
Members of the WCR claim the university violated the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 in that studentsâ?? personal information was used to â??recruit students for a political rally,â? according to the formal complaint.
The e-mail was sent to 33 UW-Madison students still awaiting financial aid due to the budget impasse.
