10/23   Have you guys heard about what's happening with the HKN course
        surveys?  I'd like to get a message to current ucb gsi's, but
        the only ones I know are associated with hkn.  Do you know any
        non-hkn affiliated ucb gsi's that would be willing to send a
        message to their distribution list? Please respond, thanks.
        \_ The short version: due to privacy concerns relating to FERPA
           (http://www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html the
           University (OAR, I think) has determined that GSI evaluations may
           not be displayed online. HKN is looking into ways to find a
           compromise between privacy concerns and free access. I think there
           was a discussion on the subject on the EECS grad student mailing
           list, but I'm not on the list, so I don't know the details. Mail me
           if you want (a little) more information. -gm (!hkn)

Recursos en espaol GENERAL Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 USC 1232g; The law applies to all schools that receive funds unde r an applicable program of the US Department of Education. FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's educa tion records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reache s the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. Studen ts to whom the rights have transferred are "eligible students." Schools are not required to provide copies of records unless, for reasons such as great distance, it is impossible for parents or eligible students to review the records. If the school decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student then has the right to a formal hearing. After the hearing, if the school still decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student has the right to place a statement with the record setting forth his or her view about the contested information. Schools may disclose, without consent, "directory" information such as a student's name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, hono rs and awards, and dates of attendance. However, schools must tell paren ts and eligible students about directory information and allow parents a nd eligible students a reasonable amount of time to request that the sch ool not disclose directory information about them. Schools must notify p arents and eligible students annually of their rights under FERPA. The a ctual means of notification (special letter, inclusion in a PTA bulletin , student handbook, or newspaper article) is left to the discretion of e ach school.
