This sounds crazy - I can see a distinct difference between publication in the local press and 'publication' on a noticeboard, in a graduation brochure etc even if the Registrar can't. I am sure you are right in saying that many institutions publish on paper pass lists of info derived from computer-held data. I hadn't thought of this as against the law, but await the outcome of your investigations with interest!
