(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign refuses to explain how it obtained sensitive student data in Arizona—later exploiting it for a massive get-out-the-vote effort.
On Sunday, the Harris campaign sent unsolicited text messages to students, parents and others affiliated with Arizona’s three major universities about voter registration deadlines.
The three affected institutions were Arizona State University, the University of Arizona, and Northern Arizona University.
While universities claimed that data could be released under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), Republicans in the Arizona Senate have launched an investigation, arguing the law prohibits campaigns from accessing students’ personal information.
Arizona Sen. Jake Hoffman, a Republican and founder of the Arizona Freedom Caucus, leads the investigation, calling Harris’s access to the directory a “MAJOR” security breach on X.
“I was made aware of this breach of security by dozens of students today and intend to throw the full weight of the Arizona Senate into ascertaining how the Harris campaign acquired these students’ legally protected personally identifiable information,” Hoffman affirmed in an interview with the New York Post.
The University of Arizona told the Post that the Harris campaign never requested directory information.
Arizona State University claimed that student contact information, majors and enrollment details are matters of “public record.”
Northern Arizona University claimed that entities often request such information from institutions.
“We receive these types of requests many times throughout the year and the requestor must pay for data they ask for,” said NAU spokesperson Kimberly Ott.
The Harris campaign declined to comment on the scandal when reached by the Post, drawing criticism on X.
Arrgh. These people are driving me nuts. They constantly break the law and are seldom, if ever, held accountable. This stuff enrages me.
Arizona State University, the University of Arizona, and Northern Arizona University are all Communist party programming centers.
She’s for personal reproductive “choice” (limited to the privacy of the relationship between a woman and her doctor) unless it involves the product of biological warfare.
There are companies that have compiled every detail from every source public and private about everyone on the planet. Really.
mylife.com comes to mind as one of the earlier examples.
I worked at a University and about the first day on the job I was told (emphatically) it wasn’t worth my job to give out student e mails.
A young man came in and asked for the e mail of his classmate. Of course, I did’t give it out. I said, “If she wants you to have it, she will give it to you.”
RATs are good for lying and cheating. GOPee are good for hiding in the corner.
Probably the most egregious data collectors are the big tech companies that required you to give them your phone number in order to log into your own computer. I struggled for two years and did not upgrade to Windows 10 because I was not going to give my phone number and information. So two years latter tried again and when I gave them a phone number I was allowed to log into my Win10 hard drive. Microsoft and Google know everything and they will use it during the election to push little bits out to you that will influence the election and lots of other things.
Want to be shocked?
GOOGLE your own name.
Want to be surprised?
GOOGLE your friend’s names.................
A leftist at ASU likely provided the campaign all the information. Probably works as a local campaign staffer...
HAHA the politicos made it ‘legal’ to have full access to your information including the voter registration database that has enough information for the law firm researchers to find out every detail about your life.
And if xyz isn’t legal right now then there will be laws quietly passed to allow the politicos full access because you know that children need to be protected from terrorism or some such thing.
Maybe Gov Katie Robbs gave the info to the commie campaign.
They must be in panic mode if they’re stooping this low.
BTTT
The request came from a Dean most likely who forwarded it to the Harris campaign
Probably with a nod from hobb’s office staff.
You can bet this is happening in Michigan too. Michigan has tons of universities.
FAFSA. Read the fine print. Don’t ever fill out a FAFSA. Pay for your college yourself and be free.
Like taking out a car loan and being shocked when other products salesmen call you after.
That isn't the Democrats fault.
With only a few rare exceptions, the right are spineless eunuchs.
