Wow you guys really dont know what you are talking about, just insult people. First of all she failed 28 out of 32 students and accused all of us of cheating and thats why we were failed. I am doing a pre-med and I currently, well had a 4.0 until this issue, so the whole thing about me being a bitter failure just trying to weasel out of paying money...nice try. Just like in anything public especially medicine there is a law for confidentiality that only can be shared on a need to know basis only. Sharing grades with the entire class is not a need to know is it?

Now, now, OP. Going potty mouth here will get you expelled.

You got an accurate legal answer. Sorry it is not what you wanted to hear.

You SAID you were trying to weasel out of paying the money. YOUR WORDS.

I would argue that there was a need-to-know basis. The entire class needed to know they got F's for cheating in a pre-med class. *I* would tell the entire class that tidbit of info, and I guarantee you all day long I would not get fired for that, and you would still owe your tuition.

But good luck.

If the school receives funds from an "applicable federal program" of the U.S. Department of Education (I think most schools.) Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) would apply. The school would need written permission before turning over any information from a student's educational record. I didn't go to the regulations, but bet grades would be a part of a student's educational record.
