[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's a lot to ask that the default be open disclosure to parents of freshman. It should have to be turned off by the student upon request. OF COURSE the colleges are wholly against this sort of disclosure because they want to control your kids and brush everything under the rug.

That's called nudging. Just like with organ donors, much more opt-in when it's just default.[/quote]

Once again, for the terminally stupid . . .

That.Does.Not.Comply.With.The.Law.  Unless the freshman is 17, which few are, and virtually none for the entire year.  [/quote]

Cite the "law" about emailing parents a notification your kid has received a dorm infraction for alcohol, noise violation, drugs, found passed out in a hallway. Cite the "law" about emailing parents a notification your kid hasn't shown up for class in 2 or 3 weeks.[/quote]

FERPA

At 18, all of the privacy rights provided by FERPA belong to the student.

There is no law preventing colleges from emailing parents a notification the child has been absent from class or had a run-in with campus police. [/quote]

FERPA makes attendance and disciplinary records of the student his/hers to reveal or not. FERPA is an acronym that stands for the Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act. So yes, there is “a law.” It’s the opposite of what you assert.[/quote]
