Sign our petition urging the Attorney General to investigate the College Board

Please sign our petition to Attorney General Letitia James, urging her to investigate and halt the College Board and ACT practice of selling student data, which violates our state student privacy law. The College Board also engages in consumer fraud and deceptive practices, since they falsely claim on their data privacy web page that “the College Board does not sell student information” while in reality, they do sell it for 47 cents per student.
