Category One (telecommunications and internet access) has higher discount rates and is essentially uncapped; Category Two (internal connections, managed services) has a five-year per-student budget cap. Mixing the categories on a single application typically delays funding by a full cycle.
Schools that misclassify equipment requests get bumped to the wrong queue and miss the funding-year window. The discount can be 20-90% depending on poverty rate, so the stakes are substantial.
FERPA permits disclosure of "directory information" without consent if the institution has noticed students of the categories and the right to opt out. The defect: many institutions treat the categories as broad (full address, full schedule) when narrower defaults would meet operational needs. A student suing on a directory disclosure typically wins on overbreadth, not technical violation.
Tightening directory-information defaults is free, low-risk, and removes a category of avoidable complaints. Most institutions inherited their lists from a prior generation of administrators.
