As reported here, the Solomon Act, and the No Child Left Behind Act, provide military recruiters with contact information of students. Where the NCLB allows for parents of high school aged children to opt out of sharing contact information, the Solomon Act which covers colleges, does not have an opt out option, so, some people are getting surprised by calls from recruiters when their kids enrol in college. ("Oh, no! It's an evil military recruiter calling!!! What ever are we going to do?????")
But, colleges are legally required to provide the fact that recruiters will have access to contact information, and they do so in college handbooks and course catalogs. Parents who actually take the time to read these would find this out, and not be surprised, don't you think?
