spectraspecs-writes: mylittleredgirl: mierac: Fun fact: there’s a law that prohibits college professors from discussing a student’s academic performance with anyone (other than fellow employees of the school) without the student’s consent. Let me tell you, helicopter parents hate FERPA. “I’m paying for this school, I have a right to know how he’s doing!” Me: “I’m sorry, sir, but your son is over 18 which makes him a legal adult and federal law protects the privacy of his academic record regardless of who is paying his bills, and I’m not going to jail for you.” that IS a fun fact!!! And as a college employee we take FERPA VERY seriously. Lol except for my uncle who worked for the university I went to and used his access to look up my marks, then share them with the rest of my family. -- source link
