[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope. Quoting from another thread: "In the U.S., student educational records are protected under the Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). That means that we can not discuss a student’s grades - or even whether or not the student is actually enrolled in the class - without the express written consent of the student, a court order, or a situation where there is a threat to the health and safety of someone in the class."

If a student is having personal or academic difficulties, they are referred to the appropriate support offices. [/quote]

Right, those stupid parents, having no idea.  Many actually do have that written consent from a student.   My lawyer friend advised me to do it, just in case, together with the health care proxy before my daughter left for campus.   What do you say to that?  [/quote]

NP. What do I say to that? I say you still have to talk to an administrative office, moron, not a faculty member. Your identity and the paperwork has to be verified. None of this involves direct faculty contact. It all goes through administrative staff in the registrar' office, office of student services, individual college's dean of students, etc.[/quote]
