The College Board, the organization responsible for administering the SAT, has recently settled claims made by the state of New York regarding the sale of student data. The settlement comes after an investigation by the New York Attorney General's office, which found that the College Board had improperly disclosed personal information of students to third-party organizations for financial gain.
The allegations against the College Board included selling student data to colleges and universities, as well as to educational companies for marketing purposes. This controversial practice raised concerns about privacy violations and the potential misuse of sensitive personal information.
