The Student Privacy Policy Office recently updated a resource addressing when a student is considered “in attendance” at a postsecondary institution under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.

Last month, I sort of left you hanging. I was discussing internal disclosures of education records. And, at the end of the column, I mentioned a situation where a security director asked the dean of students for access to the judicial hearings files under the control of that dean. When asked why he needed those records, he simply said his responsibility to the college required that he be given unlimited access to those records to secure the campus from any threats. That last part was not included in last month's column.
Mental health is a somewhat taboo topic in academia. As Katie Rose Guest Pryal, a bipolar and autistic author and academic, writes in her new book A Light in the Tower: A New Reckoning with Mental Health in Higher Education (available now from University Press of Kansas), “Based on the logic of academia, if my brain is wrong, then everything about me is wrong.” She argues that mental disability is stigmatized in higher education and pushed into the shadows and that the key solution to the mental disability crisis — Pryal's preferred terminology — is to increase accessibility overall rather than just provide accommodations for faculty and students. This can decrease the stigma around their illnesses.
