(Univ. Archivists): Interpreting FERPA



1/26/01
 
            How does your Archives or your University Registrar interpret FERPA relative to deceased students? Do you release student information ever? Or after a specific time lapse (e.g. 75 years) or upon some authentication of the death of a student?
 
            I have reviewed the latest text of the law on the DOE - Family Compliance Office website. The topic does not seem to be addressed directly in the law.
 
Thanks,
 
Ed Southern
