The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.
FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights have transferred are "eligible students."
Question: Has Nadir's rights been violated by the University in the fact someone with in the University has leaked information to the press regarding his grade received from Mason Gross professor? Is this a similar situation as to when JPP's medical records were released to press? I know the CEO of the Hospital that leaked JPP's medical records vowed to find the leak and punish the individual for breaking the Privacy laws. I have not heard Barchi respond to the fact a University employee leaked Barnwell's education record regarding his class to the press as described in a NJ Advanced Media Article written today. Has legal Barnwell's rights been compromised? Should he consider seeking legal council in this regard as did JPP when his privacy rights were violated when his medical records were released to press? Any thoughts?
