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.
Board members owe duties of care (informed decision-making), loyalty (no self-dealing), and obedience (consistent with the mission). The duties are distinct: a member can satisfy care while violating loyalty, or vice versa. Most board mistakes involve loyalty (related-party transactions without disclosure).
State attorneys general can pursue board members personally for breaches; D&O insurance typically covers care violations but excludes intentional loyalty breaches. Confusing the duties leaves members exposed without realizing it.
The coordinator role is not honorary — federal regulations require the coordinator to coordinate the institution's compliance efforts, monitor outcomes, identify patterns, and ensure that grievance procedures are followed. Naming someone without giving them authority or time is a finding waiting to happen.
OCR investigations frequently cite "coordinator in name only" as systemic non-compliance, escalating individual incidents into institution-wide enforcement. The coordinator function is a litigation fingerprint.
