Ive seen press reports about a new FERPA provision allowing notice to parents when a student violates drug or alcohol laws. What position has the University taken on this new rule?
Part 99.31 (a) (15) (i) of the FERPA regulations authorizes — but does not require–disclosure to parents of “the student’s violation of any Federal, State, or local law, or of any rule or policy of the institution, governing the use or possession of alcohol or a controlled substance if (A) The institution determines that the student has committed a disciplinary violation with respect to that use or possession; and (B) The student is under the age of 21 at the time of the disclosure to the parent.” The University has not changed its privacy policy to permit such disclosure. However, as indicated in the answer to question sixteen, we will normally notify parents of dependent students if a student is facing a disciplinary charge that could result in suspension or expulsion.
