College Board fined $750K for selling NY test-taker personal data: AG

College Board is paying up to settle claims that the SAT administrator peddled personal info about teenage test-takers to colleges and others, allowing the group to profit off New York student data.

State Attorney General Letitia James announced that the test developer agreed this week to cough up $750,000 and will be prohibited from monetizing student data it obtains through contracts with New York schools and districts.

The attorney general said College Board for years licensed information to colleges, scholarship programs and other customers who used it to coax young people to their programs.

“Students have more than enough to be stressed about when they take college entrance exams,” James said in a statement, “and shouldn’t have to worry about their personal information being bought and sold.”..
