Colleges have begun using FERPA as an excuse for keeping silent an time they get caught doing something questionable.

Greg Piper at The College Fix has the story:

University of Houston wrongly invokes student-privacy law in sex assault case

The Student Press Law Center’s latest example of college administrators misusing the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) involves the University of Houston sexual-assault case.

As The College Fix noted, the school is being sued by students who were expelled following a sexual-assault investigation and adjudication that they claim lacked due process. They said they were “kept in the dark about the investigation and given little chance to defend themselves,” as the Houston Chronicle reported.
