corrected mistake and modified quote to fix HIPPA typo

That's definitely an interesting research topic. However, since the attornies didn't recommend anything, I personally wouldn't pursue the question any further. | |

| Aug 19, 2020 at 22:15 | comment | added | John Doe | @BryanKrause Thank you for the remark. I agree that the first typo was probably an honest mistake. Since HIPAA doesn't apply to educational institutions, that doesn't detract from the essence of the attorneys' answer, which is that the transcripts cannot be modified. | |

Could be an honest mistake, but I would doubt that someone who doesn't know the acronym for the single most important medical privacy law in the US is an expert in that area, regardless of their star rating and regardless of whether it turns out they are correct. Also importantly: HIPAA doesn't apply to educational institutions. So that's strike 2 for them. | |
