I too remember when we as a society thought that people’s personal health information privacy was worth caring about.It’s not BS it’s hippa law. The professor and the school could be sued

That’s cute and all but there is this hippa thing....
Hope he has a backup job.

When dept of public health called my wife to inform her that she had been around a positive person, she asked who. Lady on phone gave her the name. I thought that was some type of violation.It is not HIPAA that would stop the professor from revealing anything, since they are not a covered entity. Covered HIPAA entities are only those associated with health care. What would apply here for a particular student being named would be the Family Education Rights and Privacy ACT (FERPA). Regardless, sharing positive cases without identifying a specific student would not violate that act.
I have had employees literally scream at me and go off the deep end because I would not violate privacy laws. Told me it was morally reprehensible, "deaths would be on my hands", etc.I too remember when we as a society thought that people’s personal health information privacy was worth caring about.
By every understanding I have, it is unless the positive person gave permission for it to be shared (which is possible)When dept of public health called my wife to inform her that she had been around a positive person, she asked who. Lady on phone gave her the name. I thought that was some type of violation.
Too bad Greg Sankey isn't president of the world.Is this guy actually teaching our young people?
Unfortunately, he's safe, and that's one of the problems with our education system. Like term limits in Congress, somehow tenure worked its way into education to protect the employment of idiots who can do whatever they want on our tax dollars. I agree with nothing this man stands for and yet I have to pay for him to do it.Hope he has a backup job.
And someone can watch the histrionics of this jackleg and doubt my account of the math professor who cursed out an elderly man and got punched? Exhibit A, your honor.
It is but whatever. I guess he and everyone else can try to give out names and see what happens. Good luck and get a good lawyerWhen dept of public health called my wife to inform her that she had been around a positive person, she asked who. Lady on phone gave her the name. I thought that was some type of violation.

Thanks for the quality inputIt probably is not a violation in the interest of public health due to the need to contact other people who may have been at risk for contracting the disease:
"Persons at risk of contracting or spreading a disease. A covered entity may disclose protected health information to a person who is at risk of contracting or spreading a disease or condition if other law authorizes the covered entity to notify such individuals as necessary to carry out public health interventions or investigations. For example, a covered health care provider may disclose protected health information as needed to notify a person that (s)he has been exposed to a communicable disease if the covered entity is legally authorized to do so to prevent or control the spread of the disease. See 45 CFR 164.512(b)(1)(iv).
