In 1998 Congress amended the law on privacy of students' educationrecords in two important respects. First, universities may now disclose the final results of disciplinary proceedings in which a student is found to have committed a violent crime or nonforcible sex offense.
Disclosure is limited to the name of the violator, the type of violation, and the sanction.
Second, universities may now disclose to the parents and legal guardians of students who are under the age of 21any disciplinary violations regarding the use or possession of alcohol or drugs.
