What is the process for disclosing education records pursuant to a subpoena or court order?
You should review the subpoena or order to ensure it is legitimate and enforceable. Upon obtaining the materials that are responsive to the subpoena, review the materials and remove information that the requester is not entitled to receive. Prior to release, you must notify the student of the subpoena unless the subpoena directs otherwise and give the student sufficient time to go to court and contest the subpoena. Your response should be coordinated with the University Attorneys office, and should comply with all recordkeeping requirements concerning requests and disclosures.
