The whole point of the system is to track student performance. Students transfer and it is as if their record starts all over again. It might also be interesting for a state to see how its primary/secondary educational programs are linked to its university programs.
As for some irrational person making a statement about "billions wasted on Iraq" (which billions?!? were exactly wasted and how was nobody held accountable?) while universities have "miserable pissant budgets", well that person is irrational given the large budgets of universities and the amount of funding they receive privately and publicly.
Now as for the rational person worrying about the misuse of personal information, well of course but I think the government should make it apparent that it wouldn't misuse this info somehow (well do they misuse the census or IRS info?).
