The regulations provide that educational agencies and institutions that receive funding under a program administered by the U. S. Department of Education must provide students with access to their education records, an opportunity to seek to have the records amended, and some control over the disclosure of information from the records. With several exceptions, schools must have a student s consent prior to the disclosure of education records. Examples of situations affected by FERPA include school employees divulging information to anyone other than the student about the student s grades or behavior, and school work posted on a bulletin board with a grade. This privacy policy also governs how state agencies transmit testing data to federal agencies. For example see Education Data Network . The law allows students who apply to an educational institution such as graduate school permission to view recommendations submitted by others as part of the application. However, on standard application forms, students are given the option to waive this right. FERPA specifically excludes employees of an educational institution if they are not students.

The recent bill threatens up to 10 years in prison to anyone pretending to be someone else, or otherwise employs fradulant tactics to persuade phone companies to hand over confidential information about their customers. Before the law was passed, it was only illegal in the United States to use pretexting to obtain financial records about someone via the Gramm Leach Bliley Act . In California, it was already illegal to use pretexting to obtain phone records, but most politician s and consumer advocacy groups pleaded for a federal bill to be passed. Sale of the fraudulent material was widespread because the possibility of criminal prosecution was non existent. The bill was presented to the President on January 3, 2007.
