A parent calls and asks for their student's current grade point average. The student called previously and told you that their parent would be calling to get this information. You go ahead and look up their records and see that their GPA is a 2.3 and tell the parent that. Have you violated FERPA? Why or why not?
YES. There is no way to verify that it was the student on the other side of the phone and you can not release the student's grade point average to the parent with written permission from the student nor can you ever release information over the phone.
