It struck me when I recently filled out a registration form for a class at a suburban chicago junior college, mainly attended by illegal mexicans, that MY SS# was being floated around and stacked in offices and files where blatantly illegal mexicans were both attending school and working.

My information could be stolen by hundreds of illegal mexicans over the course of the semester and I would not know because there is no way to track where my information is going and what the college is doing to protect my information. The SSA won't even let us track it.

Have there been any class action lawsuits by individuals against colleges regarding their use and storage methods of our confidential information like there have been against corporations lately?

If not, there should be as right now they have carte blanche to allow illegals to attend our schools AND have acces to our confidential information. It's not right.

BTW. When the class I wanted was unavailable, I took my form back immediately and destroyed it.
