[quote=Anonymous]I knew about the FERPA problem because my brother was paying full-freight at a SLAC for his son. Due to poor grades, the Don was told he was not allowed to return the next year. Son never told dad. Dad found out by accidentally opening the mail at home and seeing the final letter from the Dean citing what Son had to do (community college and pull up grades) in order to return. This took place months after the Som knew what was coming. So as a condition of our payment of college AND so we could advocate for our children in time if crisis, both signed FERPA waivers.  This has become all the more important when children get in trouble on campus. I want to know if my son has been accused of any misdeed so I can get him the counsel he needs. Colleges don’t want parents involved so won’t tell you if there is a disciplinary matter or if your child has been arrested. It is particularly important for parents of SN kids to get FERPA waivers so they can help in times of crisis.[/quote]
