act was designated to i) protect the privacy of students' educational records, ii) establish the right of
students to inspect and review their records, and iii) provide guidelines for the correction of
inaccurate or misleading data. Students also have the right to file complaints with the Family Policy
Compliance Office concerning alleged failures by the Seminary to comply with the Act. More
