FERPA and Confidentiality
The Title IX regulations make the release of a respondent’s identity confidential unless the FERPA exceptions apply. FERPA permits but does not require the nonconsensual disclosure of records by postsecondary educational institutions in connection with disciplinary proceedings concerning crimes of violence or non-forcible sex offenses. Crimes of violence and non-forcible sex offenses do not include all forms of sexual harassment as defined in 34 C.F.R § 106.30(a). Does that mean that recipients cannot reveal the identity of a respondent found responsible for sexual harassment, including in response to a reference check, because it would be retaliatory to release this confidential information, assuming there is no state law requiring this information to be revealed?
