A call to Educational
Research Center was not imme
diately returned.
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.
