Interesting observation....
I suppose that one might argue that the simple fact of being on a
list is not the same as posting specific information such as a grade,
but I suspect that the main factor is that no one is likely to
object. Now if they published the names of students on the opposite
end of the distribution ....
On FERPA--
From my reading of the actual legislation, I suspect that the
original intent was to apply to public school students (minors), not
to adult students.

I wonder if they could have FERPA'd him if he hadn't mentioned the
grade, but only that they were plagiarists?
