We keep hearing rumors that an epidemic number of students have strep throat and the clinic is overrunning. This poses a few problems for us.

Under FERPA, we can't reveal anything about a student that violates his or her right to keep medical records private. So, we need to contact the clinic and just get some information about what students should be doing and whether or not there is an outbreak.

But, getting the clinic on the phone isn't easy.

So, maybe we'll have a story - but not unless we talk to someone official.
