are parents even allowed to know that you failed a drug test if you're over 18? HIPPA laws?

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act???

I think you mean FERPA...the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. And the answer to your question is almost certainly yes.

"FERPA also permits a school to disclose personally identifiable information from education records of an "eligible student" (a student age 18 or older or enrolled in a postsecondary institution at any age) to his or her parents if the student is a 'dependent student' as that term is defined in Section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code. Generally, if either parent has claimed the student as a dependent on the parent's most recent income tax statement, the school may non-consensually disclose the student's education records to both parent."

The first of the Tigers to come to trial, Antonio Goodwin, was convicted in June 2012, and sentenced to 15 years in prison. At his trial, Dyer, who lent the players a gun allegedly used in the crime, admitted to chronically smoking synthetic marijuana. In a jailhouse interview with ESPN, Goodwin estimated that "half the team probably smoked spice."

This is why we can't have nice things.

You seem really smart. Is there any privacy provision in that act that he might be referencing?

Eta: fwiw, I think ferpa is more applicable and that auburn wouldn't be a covered entity under hipaa, but it isn't a laughable assertion.

Maybe, maybe not, but you seem like a bright guy, so you tell me...was his question about retaining health insurance when someone changes or loses a job, or a family's right of privacy related to a child's educational records?

Hipaa has a privacy clause that prevents the disclosure of medical information that has nothing to do with insurance when changing jobs and his question was perfectly legitimate.

---

Of course it was...because at Auburn football players are paid employees.



But seriously, his question had nothing to do with health information. It was about disciplinary records of a student and a parent's right to know.

You really know nothing about hipaa do you? You are embarrassing yourself here.

Being an employee has nothing to do with anything.

---

Look, fool, even you should have enough brain cells to read the law and see that it has nothing to do with parents having access to their children's school disciplinary records.

Jesus, are you really this stupid?

Who's covered under HIPAA.

Owned

Nice crawfish.

hipaa protects against the release of private medical information from certain covered entities. A drug test is medical information, not disciplinarian. I said in my first post that hipaa didn't apply, but that it wasn't a laughable question. You thought it was funny because you read the title of hipaa and thought it was only about insurance portability.

Is this not what the LSU players were busted with the week of the AU LSU game in 2011?

LSU players were suspended, Auburn players were shown the red carpet
