The article said they gave their permission. And I think it was only seven kid's names.

It was a way of raising their profile in certain communities if I remember the content of the article.

And I think it might work. If you knew the kid listed was a great kid from your town, and this college in a good-natured way seemed to be pursuing that kid as the kind of person they wanted, it'd probably get more attention and build a sense of connection to the college in the town.

On the other hand, if it made everyone think they were stalker-ish creeps, not so much.
