Overview:
The US Department of Education has published new regulations that took effect on 1/8/2009, clarifying FERPA regulations and granting additional judgment to administrators on a case-by-case basis. The regulation changes were prompted after the tragedy at Virginia Tech left university administrators unclear about their duty to the student when there was a dangerous campus situation. The Department of Education took this opportunity to ensure that FERPA regulations reinforced that the safety of the student is paramount.
This on-demand webcast reviews the updated regulations using a "used to be" and "now is" format and clarifies the obligations of campus administrators under the new regulations. The presenter, John Snodgrass, shares examples of common situations that have been affected by the revisions. Questions were taken from the audience on FERPA concerns that have arisen on their campuses or clarifications needed to implement the new regulations.
