At the risk of re-opening last year's discussion, there's a difference
between publicising the award of a degree (awarding one at all is a
public declaration, after all), and publicising exam results. As a matter
of practical 'customer care', let alone the DPA, the latter needs much
more careful and explicit seeking of consent than the former. I would have
thought it axiomatic that you don't publish 'failure' - in that event you
publish nothing at all: because the whole point of an awarding body's
contract with a student centres around the award or not of a degree. You
don't have to say if it hasn't been awarded, you do have to say if it has.
