Agreed, but there has been some discussion about whether we would
have to release dissertations under FOIA on the sister list, I think that the
conclussion was yes.
Also students do tend to receive marked essays and other assignments
back. Personally, I do not see the difference between those and
examinations. I suspect however, that my betters may not agree with me.
