Question

What educational institutions does FERPA apply to?

A) Only public universities
B) Both public and private educational institutions that receive federal funding
C) Only private universities
D) Only elementary schools

Answer 1

FERPA applies to both public and private educational institutions that receive federal funding.

Step-by-step explanation:

Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) applies to both public and private educational institutions that receive federal funding. FERPA is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records, giving parents certain rights over their child's education records. This includes colleges, universities, elementary and secondary schools that receive federal funding.

For example, if a private university receives federal funding through grants or loans, it would be subject to FERPA regulations in protecting student education records.

FERPA does not specifically apply to public universities or elementary schools only, but rather to all educational institutions that receive federal funds.
