FERPA

WHAT IS FERPA (Family Educational Rights & 隐私法)?

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (also sometimes referred to as the Buckley Amendment), 联邦法律是否规定了学生记录的隐私和学校的义务, primarily in the areas of release of the records and the access provided to those records. Any educational institution that receives funds under any program administered by the U.S. Secretary of Education is bound by FERPA requirements. 不遵守FERPA的机构可能会被扣留由教育部长管理的资金.

WHAT ARE EDUCATION RECORDS?

在FERPA, 教育档案被定义为与学生直接相关的记录，由教育机构或机构或代表该机构或机构的一方维护. Education records can exist in any medium, 包括:输入, 计算机生成的, 录像带, 录音, 电影, 缩微胶片, microfiche and email, 等. 

Education records DO NOT INCLUDE such things as:

  • sole possession records, i.e., records/notes in sole possession of the maker, 仅作为个人记忆辅助工具使用，除了作为记录者的临时替代品(这可能包括教师在为学生提供职业/专业指导时所做的笔记)外，不得向任何人透露或访问;
  • medical treatment records that include, but are not limited to, records maintained by physicians, 精神科医生, and psychologists (these are coved by other laws);
  • employment records when employment is not contingent on being a student, provided the record is used only in relation to the individual's employment;
  • records created and maintained by a law enforcement unit used only for that purpose.  These records are revealed only to law enforcement agencies of the same jurisdiction, and the enforcement unit does not have access to education records;
  • post-attendance records, i.e., 当某人不再是学生(校友记录)时获得的关于该人的信息，并且与该人作为学生无关.

STUDENT'S RIGHT TO REVIEW AND CORRECT HIS/HER RECORDS

The right of inspection and review includes: the right to access, with an explanation and interpretation of the record; the right to a copy of the education record when failure to provide a copy of the record would effectively prevent the student from inspecting and reviewing the record. 在不限制查阅的情况下，学校可以拒绝提供学生的教育记录副本.

如果学生认为他们的教育记录不准确，他们可以要求修改这些信息, 误读, or in violation of privacy rights. 学生 must request in writing that the office maintaining those records amend them. 学生应该指出他们想要改正的部分，并说明为什么他们认为这部分是不准确的, misleading or in violation of privacy rights.

该办公室将审查请求，并在收到请求后的合理时间内通知学生. If the records custodian refuses to amend the record, students have the right to a hearing. 一名听证会官员将由该部门的内阁成员任命。听证会将在收到听证会请求后的合理时间内举行. The hearing officer will notify the student, reasonably in advance, 日期的, 的地方, and time of the hearing.

If the hearing officer supports the complaint, the education record will be amended accordingly and the student will be so informed. If the hearing officer/board decides not to amend the education record, 学生有权在教育记录中发表声明，评论受质疑的信息和/或陈述不同意决定的原因. 该陈述将作为教育记录的一部分保存，只要记录中有争议的部分被保存.
