I found the Solomon Amendment very interesting. Student recruiting information elements are defined by law and must be released if requested. The institution has discretion in determining Director Information by recruiting information must be released. Student recruitment information is very similar to Directory Information.
This section heightened my awareness of others laws that may or may not affect FERPA, such as HIPAA, the Solomon Amendment, the U.S. Patriot Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bailey Act and SEVIS. It, again, drives home to me the importance of comprehensive training and regular training updates so employees are fully aware of all of the components of FERPA.
