The FERPA Professor recently talked with EdSurge's Tina Nazerian about "The Unintentional Ways Schools Violate FERPA." 

For example, he said, higher education professionals may unintentionally violate FERPA in the following ways:

  • Failing to shred paper records before discarding them.
  • Not understanding that they are accountable for their vendor's use of data.
  • Disclosing inappropriate information in casual settings.
