What this law does
Rule 3352-4-03 of the Ohio Administrative Code outlines the procedures of Wright State University to comply with the requirements of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. The rule permits the university to release information contained in an educational record, without prior consent, under the circumstances listed in paragraphs (C)(1) to (C)(13) of the rule.
A school official may include a volunteer or contractor outside the university who performs an institutional service or function for which the university would otherwise use its own employees and who is under the direct control of the university with respect to the use and maintenance of personally identifiable information from education records.
Information the university designates as public information is released without a student's consent, and a student has the right to have public information withheld. A student who wants public information withheld, including items to be published in a student directory, completes a request to prevent release of public information form, which the office of the registrar provides.
A written consent to release an educational record must be signed and dated by the student and must specify the information to be released and the party or class of parties to whom the disclosure may be made. The rule took effect . Section 3345.011 of the Revised Code defines a state university as a public institution of higher education that is a body politic and corporate, and recognizes Wright State University as a state university.
