Folks seem to forget that "students" are adult citizens. If they hadn't come to college many would be handling patient files in your doctor's office, training for a job with your local police, maintaining your kids school, fielding help desk questions at your credit institution, or dealing with other "sensitive' tasks.
Yes - but would you feel comfortable going to your doctor, or police, or school, or bank, and finding out that your sensitive data was being handled by a person working only 5 or 10 hours a week at close to min wage, and who quite possibly didn't have any real training regarding the handling of sensitive info? It's not that they're not adults - it's that in most places, a work study job simply doesn't have the same level of training and accountability that a FTE has. (Yes, I know there's exceptions - the point is they *are* exceptions)
