Locking the college records means either getting it off the main database or locking access to it. Some college administrators have access to students' records. It is standard procedure to lock the files of students who are in national news stories, e.g., Monica, Carolyn Bissette Kennedy. They try to do it before any college employee prints out a hard copy of it and sells it to the National Enquirer.
Ah ha - got it!
Limit internal access so someone doesn't leak them.
