Are individuals liable for penalties if they do not adhere to the requirements of FERPA?
A. No, not typically. Institutions receiving funds from the U.S. Department of Education are legally responsible for complying with these laws and could be in jeopardy of losing federal education dollars if they are found to have a policy or practice of violating FERPA. Individual liability would depend on state laws and local policies. See section 2A.
