Incarcerated individuals face frequent FERPA inquiries regarding student data disclosures, highlighting the need for ongoing training.
In my 30‐plus years of being a registrar, I’m still surprised by how often FERPA issues come up daily. Whether it's answering a question from a department regarding a student's current address or responding to a call from a prospective employer wanting to verify a student's degree, the questions never seem to end. And that's the way it should be. That's also a good argument for continuous FERPA training.
