Yale University has acknowledged that its law school responded to a wave of
student requests for their application evaluations by discarding all such
records — an action that has prompted an advocacy group to warn colleges
not to destroy potential evidence in admissions lawsuits.

Yale Law School’s destruction of the records, first publicized by one of
its own students on Sunday in a column
<http://www.newrepublic.com/article/121297/yale-law-deletes-admissions-records-congress-must-fix-ferpa>
for *The New Republic,* occurred after several students submitted requests
for copies of their application evaluations under the federal Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or Ferpa.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
