FERPA Q&A

Q: A student has reported a potential FERPA violation to me. The student would like to remain anonymous. What should I do? 

A: This will depend on the nature of the violation and the student’s role in the situation. If the student is an employee, they are required to notify University Information Security (UIS) at security@umn.edu. UIS will research the situation and notify the student whose data was shared if needed. If the student is not an employee, they can submit a UReport anonymously. The University Compliance Program will contact the appropriate department to research and take action as needed. If a UReport is submitted, we will still need the names of the individuals impacted to conduct a thorough search and take action.
