Both companies created, marketed and distributed the questionnaires to teachers and guidance counselors, asking that they be passed on to students, the FTC said. It said Student Marketing Group paid for creat ing and distributing the surveys and used the resulting data to create student lists it could sell to companies, the agency said. In literature sent to the teachers and guidance coun selors, the questionnaires said, “Your participation is critical to your students’ post-second ary future,†and “This infor mation will be used by both public and private universities and colleges.†The FTC said each survey asked for the student’s name, address, sex, birth date, reli gious affiliations, racial and eth nic background and extracurric ular interests. The trade commission said the companies gave colleges and universities little if any of the information gathered from middle and junior high school students. The companies did give colleges and universities information on high school stu dents. The settlement is the latest in a series of cases targeting educa tion surveys and the privacy promises made when they are distributed. In October, the National Research Center for College and University Admissions and American Student List agreed to a similar settlement. The FTC issued a consumer alert with information for teachers and school administra tors to consider when they are asked to distribute a question naire to students. Mon bigger Magnussen said.
