The Department of Education released its long-anticipated undated FERPA regulations yesterday, to be analyzed by the Data Quality Campaign in the coming weeks (and covered by the Wall Street Journal here.).

(And for a little humor, check out our FERPA music video - the tragic tale of one education researcher's quest for data.)
