<p>I have learned that there should be a valid reason for sharing information similar to a need to know basis for a patient and HIPPAA.&#160; If it is not something that a faculty member needs to know that the information should be kept confidential and not shared with the staff member.&#160; If it is a valid reason, then steps must be followed for the staff member to access the information because the students' right to privacy should always be respected.</p>
