Was there adequate deliberation by the department over the import of the evidence in the light of relevant standards? Were irrelevant and improper standards excluded from consideration? Was the decision a bona fide exercise of professional academic judgment?" (Spring 1970 AAUP Buliletin.)

Bureaus must also be certain that their clients have a bona fide interest in the individual's background. Finance companies are acceptable; lawyers looking for ammunition in a divorce case are not. The FBI, the Internal Revenue Service and other Government agencies, which had easy access to data banks, must now have a court order to peek at an individual...
