The government is closely analyzing the data you provide, paying attention to your international students and faculty, and planning visits. When federal agents come calling, is your campus equipped to handle requests for information in a way that meets your legal obligations to the government and your students and scholars while also protecting your institution? Do you know which information is and is not protected by FERPA?
In this webinar, leading attorneys Steven McDonald and David Ware help you understand FERPA and the key exceptions most relevant to higher education, with a special focus on SEVIS. They also discuss the USA PATRIOT Act's impact on FERPA and whether or not ICE is really "exempt" from FERPA. They share from their experience working with campuses to develop best practices and procedures for managing requests for information and maintaining student records.

- Understand FERPA origins, structure, and rationale.
