FERPA Q&A

Question: An Asian American student group would like a list of all students in the college that identify as Asian. May we supply the list?

Answer: 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 student group’s interest in your regular emails, newsletters, etc. Interested students may then “opt-in” by contacting the group.
