InCommon Federation Discussions About Online Student Services

[Robert Morley <>]

Ann,

I don't believe that this FAQ is regularly viewed, at least in the Registrar 
community.  You might want to get something into the AACRAO Data Dispenser 
(and cite the FAQ) and consider a session at AACRAO in April.  Jeff VMS may 
be able to help facilitate this if you decide that this is a course of action 
you'd like to pursue.  Let me know if I can provide assistance.  Regards.

Subject: [InC-Student] FERPA and Federations

All,

InCommon is developing some recommended practices for attribute release, and 
LeRoy Rooker has given us a quote to help educate registrars and student 
services folks about federation in the context of FERPA.

We're now trying to determine how to promote LeRoy's quote (and the 
practices) and have worked with Peg O'Donnell of the  Campus Legal 
Information Clearinghouse  to incorporate it into their FERPA FAQ:
http://counsel.cua.edu/FERPA/questions/questions2.cfm#Directory (See second 
question under the Directory Information section.)

Do campuses routinely use this FAQ? Do they see it as a legitimate source of 
information? Are there other places where we should promote this?

Many thanks for your thoughts,
Ann
