FERPA Q&A

Q: A Native American student group would like an email list of a college’s students that identify as Native American. May we supply the email list?

A: Under FERPA, an institution cannot designate race, gender, or ethnicity as “directory information.” You therefore cannot supply the email list in this case. However, you may facilitate if you like by communicating the Native American student group’s interest in hearing from students. Interested students may then “opt in” by contacting the group.
