The institution in question can be sued for in the millions, as well as damages and criminal charges brought against the individual committing the violation including fines up to $500,000 and a couple years' jail time. While FERPA is a federal statute, the particular state I live in and possibly others, have state regulations that deal with FERPA as well, especially when you deal with a public university that receives state and federal funding. The funny thing about the law is, it's black and white, but it's not. I appreciate your input, but it's not as cut and dry as you make it sound. @Bob McCluskey: I don’t believe that’s entirely correct.

Just a question. Are you putting your Entrecard back up? I have you on the socialcardsters list and I don't see the entrecard anymore but see that you are going through some changes. Just checking.
