Course Description:

In December, The U.S. Department of Education (ED) made significant changes
in its regulations for the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
(FERPA). FERPA establishes a framework for protecting the confidentiality of
students' education records while also providing exceptions that allow for
the disclosure of student information when appropriate. ED's changes
incorporate U.S. Supreme Court precedents and ED policy letters; address
privacy issues raised by the shooting incident at Virginia Tech University;
clarify legal requirements in recognition of advancements in technology; and
address the use of private contractors, consultants and other service
providers. 

This 90-minute interactive audio conference is designed to provide
information on the basic requirements of FERPA, discuss the recent changes,
the future of student privacy issues, and answer your questions on how to
comply with FERPA.

Learning Points To Be Answered:

*	Overview of the U.S. Department of Education new regulations

*	Practical issues regarding compliance with the law in developing and
implementing data systems

*	An understanding of the basic student privacy protections within
FERPA

*	What is important about the disclosure exceptions within FERPA 

*	Practical issues with the use of private contractors and
organizations conducting research
