Confidentiality of student records: The professor's obligation

Recent Federal legislation has secured more firmly the rights of students to control the accumulation and dissemination of information about them. This situation would seem to compel professors to be more knowledgeable of student rights so as not to abuse them.

Knowledge of the law is particularly important to the accounting professor because his or her typically close liaison between the student and employment recruiter increases the risk of violation.

Useful component analysis: Graphical views of marketing data

The authors present a proof demonstrating the relationship between general components and Fourier series. The process allows the inspection of all general components, not just principal components. The usefulness of Fourier plots for investigating general component structures is shown, and marketing applications of scale analysis, discriminant analysis, and classification analysis are presented.
