What this law does
Section 49-7-1103 requires institutions of higher education to inform parents and students of students' option to execute consent forms authorizing the institution to release certain otherwise confidential education records, as defined by federal law, to a designated parent, upon request. The Student Information in Higher Education Act of 2005 defines an institution of higher education as any four-year college or university, whether public or private, located in the state.
The Act reaches a student only if the student is twenty years of age or younger, attends class on the institution's property and has tuition and fees paid at least in part by a parent. The Act did not require other institutions to comply while Middle Tennessee State University's pilot program and its evaluation ran.
