[quote=Anonymous]Here is some information about the history of FERPA. [url]https://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/leg-history.html[/url] The short answer to why it was enacted is that it came at a time where there was increasing distrust of government. The law is intended to limit access to student records to protect student privacy. The exceptions allowing disclosure are limited. It also provides for use of student data for research or study, as long as all information is de-identified. FERPA applies to all student educational records, including the records of students under 18, which parents or guardians may access. Once a student turns 18, the student controls access to the educational records. The ultimate consequence for violating FERPA would be a loss of federal funding for an educational institution, so the requirements are taken very seriously. [/quote]
